| Type "C-X k" to kill the buffer.  Then type "C-X C-F" to reopen the file.

Or alternatively, M-x revert-buffer <CR>.  Quoting from the FM:

revert-buffer:
Replace the buffer text with the text of the visited file on disk.
This undoes all changes since the file was visited or saved.
If latest auto-save file is more recent than the visited file,
asks user whether to use that instead.
First argument (optional) non-nil means don't offer to use auto-save file.
 This is the prefix arg when called interactively.

If first argument is '(16) (C-u C-u when called interactively), or
second argument (optional) non-nil, don't ask for confirmation at all.

If revert-buffer-function's value is non-nil, it is called to do the work.

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
