code-folding

There are plenty of ways to fold code in Emacs and I've settled in on using the outline minor mode... it works great!

However, I really want my folding to be persisted when I close and re-open files. It is quite frustrating to have folding set up in a file the way I like it, only to have that lost when I restart Emacs.

Has anyone found a way to keep the folding state of a file persistent?
