emacs patch mode is read only

[Ben Hsu]

Hi

I have the following behavior in emacs:
 - create a file called foo.patch, put some content in it
 - emacs foo.patch
 - emacs would make the foo.patch buffer read-only

This does not occur with xemacs. Should I file a bug?

No, you should M-x toggle-read-only

M-x customize
Programmings/Tools/Diff Mode

Toggle 'Diff Default Read Only' to off.

Select 'Save for Future Sessions'
