- I had an emacs sitting in VM on my terminal at home. I went in to work,
- read mail there, came home, and typed "g" without remembering to quit VM
- first. Guess what, it got my new mail and saved my inbox without ever
- noticing that the version on disk was newer than the version it had in
- the buffer. Happy happy. Joy joy. Luckily I was able to pull my
- messages back from the jaws of death because I have emacs make backup
- versions every time it saves, but there would seem to be a call to
- verify-visited-file-modtime missing somewhere...
