I think it is a good idea; I would definitely find it useful.  It
would be easy to change the remember command to do this.  The only
problem is that one might want to add something to a previously
started note, and finding the right note buffer amongst several would
be a nuisance.

I'm away from the source right now, so I can't check, but isn't autosave off by 
default in Remember buffers?

I'm not keen on the idea without hearing some other use cases.  Do the normal 
emacs ways of handling this, like changing the buffer name, not work?

My own method is similar to Jody's. I use remember to create a stub of a note, 
with title and annotation, then flesh it out on the planner page, and run 
planner-update-note at the end. This approach has many benefits, including 
safety, font-locking according to the muse syntax, and the use of other modes 
like allout. You could probably make remember mode do all those things too, but 
it strikes me that the purpose and best use for remember is for quick, 
temporary things. 

Do you guys write code in a Remember buffer too :) ?
