Hi Leon,

you're welcome, I'm glad that we have it sorted out.

There are also good news: It doesn't matter if we both forget about that
snippet in your .emacs; that piece of code will not break anything when
you update your AUCTeX (hopefully from ELPA) with the next release.  If
you don't want to have that snippet in you .emacs, you can put something
like this in your .tex file:

    %%% Local Variables:
    %%% mode: latex
    %%% TeX-master: t
    %%% ispell-local-dictionary: "american"
    %%% eval: (TeX-ispell-skip-setcar '(("\\\\(" . "\\\\)")))
    %%% End:

And you'll get a reminder every time you open the file :-)

Please keep on using the latest version and report anything suspicious;
this is the best way to fix bugs.

For now, I'm closing this report.

Best, Arash
