[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This patch makes the line include a link to run 'recover-session .
It also rephrases the text. The text used to be "If an Emacs session crashed
recently, type Meta-x recover-session RET \nto recover the files you were
editing." The rephrased text is "If Emacs crashed recently, you may recover
your previous session."
The text no longer tells you how to run the command (i.e., with Meta-x
recover-session RET). This is in line with the other commands on the page
(e.g., Emacs Tutorial, Open a File).
