You know how when you exit emacs with C-x C-c, it even offers to save forgotten "*mail*" buffers, giving you that warm safe feeling, dear friends [Firesign Theater accent there (never mind)]. Well, I discovered that same comfy feeling with (save-some-buffers nil t) and it doesn't make me exit, too! But, had I not "used the source, Luke" I would have never known it, due to a plot by GNU Emacs authors not to document that second argument in the documentation string [ :-) ] (defun save-some-buffers (&optional arg exiting) "Save some modified file-visiting buffers. Asks user about each one. With argument, saves all with no questions." [18.57]
