Re: table-recognize and default-major-mode

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Up to now I had overlooked that table-recognize actually issues a
    message in the message area "Recognizing tables...done". This
    message is always issued when I load a file, suggesting that this
    function is always evaluated. But somehow, table-recognize has no
    effect.

I suggest that you (1) try to debug this and (2) ask the developer
of table.el to help.
