Hi,
When performing `insert-file-contents' at the end of a buffer,
which is not empty, buffer's undo is disabled. It happens only
with Emacs 23.
(with-temp-buffer
(buffer-enable-undo)
(insert "\n")
(insert-file-contents "~/.emacs")
buffer-undo-list)
=> t
I was troubled for months with this problem that sometimes
happened when writing a message draft, and I found the cause of
it today. It happens when I perform `message-insert-signature'
which uses `insert-file-contents' to insert my ~/.signature file.
It is not only on me, is it? Could someone repair it?
Thanks in advance.

Ahhhh, so _that's_ why my mail buffers have undo turned off!
I thought it must be my bug, but apparently not...
Thanks for finding that! I don't immediately see the reason for the bug
in `insert-file-contents'; that function's handling of the undo list is
a huge festering pile of hair...

Should be fixed now.

Hmm... but isn't that pile of hair the immediate reason for the bug?

The immediate reason is that I forgot that record_insert would collapse
the insertion done by `insert-file-contents' with other insertions.
AFAICT Andreas fixed that and also the mindless one-armed `if' I wrote.
Thanks, Andreas!
Anyway, the pile of hair is rooted deep inside `insert-file-contents'
which tries to reconcile format decoding, `after-insert-file-functions',
keeping the undo-list short and `point' where it was, and whatever have
you. `insert-file-contents' presently has about 1200 lines of code,
that's clearly too much for my brain.

My long standing melancholy has cleared off at last. Thanks!

But that may become undone now.
