I tried to do something similar, namely to replace "..." by "…", and "---" by "—", in HTML-mode. It didn't work, so I posted a question: http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/71101 The reply was, this has to do with abbrev following the Emacs definition of what is a word. Apparently, you can fiddle with that, which, for a local mode, perhaps is smart (in my case, the HTML mode), but I decided not to do it, because it might screw up my cursor movement finger habits, and I am very picky about those. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
