When I do it, I find it difficult to make a decision. It would be nice to improve the recover-file function to pop up a window that shows difference between the current file and its recovery. Is there interest for this feature? I might have the time to write the feature if it will be integrated in emacs. -- Ivan Kanis http://ivan.kanis.fr I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable.
