We went thru this a few years ago, and here's the variable invented to
check this, and here's what I set it to [emacs 18.55]

(describe-variable (quote inhibit-local-variables))

inhibit-local-variables's value is t

Documentation:
*Non-nil means query before obeying a file's local-variables list.
This applies when the local-variables list is scanned automatically
after you find a file.  If you explicitly request such a scan with
M-x normal-mode, there is no query, regardless of this variable.

Now this brings out another point.  Certainly somebody from GNU sent
Guido the answer by e-mail already.  But all we see on gnu.emacs.bugs
newsgroup is the question.  I'm hoping that we all can see the answers
posted too more often... they're as least as valuable as the
questions...
