So that doesn't make sense in my previous post, but the hook should still work, as long as there are buffers "under the influence" all round, which is likely. But, using that to solve the problem of the OP, if the message buffer could be associated with a file, and then itself subjected to auto-save-mode, that would be even better. Try: (let ((buffer "*Messages*")) (with-current-buffer buffer (set-visited-file-name buffer t) ; no confirmation (auto-save-mode) )) -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
