Re: printing.el PS preview creates world-readable files in /tmp

[Vinicius Jose Latorre]

Hi Glenn,


I've just updated printing (v 6.8.3) in the Emacs CVS.

The version 6.8.3 now handles file permission bits (see pr-file-modes 
option).
The pr-file-modes default value is 0600, that is, only the owner session 
have
permissions to handle the newly created files by printing package.


Thanks for your report,


Vinicius
