Emacs (GNU Emacs 18.54.5) creates auto-save files, using the users
default mode-mask.  I would find it more logical to use the protection
mask of the original file if it exists.

E.g. when I edit the protected file, memo, my directory has the files:

   1 -rw-r--r--  1 stefan        640 Mar 26 17:54 #memo#
   1 -rw-------  1 stefan        621 Mar 25 20:58 memo

It doesn't help much to have the protection here...
Perhaps there is a simple way around this?

Kjartan.
