Hi again!

OK, I have tried it around and it seems that it works like this:

1. I start Emacs and thereby require 'efs-auto.  Autosaving works fine
   for all files.

2. I start Dired 7.7.  Suddenly I get autosave errors for regular
   files (i.e. buffers associated with filenames), but it autosaves
   mail buffers all right.

I have not issued one single command in this dired, and auto-save.el
(which struck me as a file that could have effect on this behaviour)
is not loaded.  Any hints?
