Ah, so mutt saves content in a file which is then opened by Emacs. Okay, that makes sense. Gnus does things the other way around: opens the buffer (associated with a file in the draft directory), inserts the content, and then puts the user in control. File local variables don't get a chance to be interpreted then. > Then I have been testing and even text files invoke local variables. Yes, of course. That's the whole point?
