Re: Auto-mode-alist, issue with regexp

Perfect. Thank you to everybody. The explanation helped me understand
where I was going wrong.
I'm using ItsAllText firefox extension to compose replies/messages
from GMAIL in Aquamacs. ItsAllText opens aquamacs with a file name
like mail.google.com.[A-Za-z0-9]+.txt which i would ultimately like to
open in message mode.

Thanks again
