I've encountered an interesting bug in conjunction with this. It goes
something like this ...
* In my ~/.emacs, I
(set-default 'inhibit-local-variables 'query-other)
* In my vm-mode-hook, I
(make-local-variable 'inhibit-local-variables)
(setq inhibit-local-variables 'always)
Now, whenever I call vm, I discover that the *global* value of
inhibit-local-variables is set to 't !!! I don''t understand how this
could be happening -- the only place where it is set to 't is the
let-binding in vm and vm-gobble-crash-box!!
Any ideas?? [Emacs 18.55 on DECstation 2100 under Ultrix 4.1]
