The new defaults work great. Thanks for implementing that.

Only one tiny thing: If I kill a query/channel buffer with new text, I
get this "Buffer foo contains unsaved data; really kill?" message. But
because `erc-save-buffer-in-logs' is in `erc-kill-buffer-hook' it will
be saved anyway, so the warning is not necessary and could be omitted by
calling (set-buffer-modified-p nil) beforehand. The same applies to
channels (`erc-kill-channel-hook').

Bye,
