The prompt of
(format "Recover auto save file %s? " file-name)
in recover-file is impossible to ignore. It would be good to have an
option to ignore it.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "ignore"? Do you 
mean, a variable one could set so that the `recover-file' function 
simply recovers the autosave file without asking this question?

More information was requested, but none was given within 4 years, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
bug report.

Best regards,
