You can work around it by setting sentence-end-double-space to nil when auto-filling: (defadvice do-auto-fill (around sentence-end-double-space activate) "Temporarily bind `sentence-end-double-space' to nil, to allow line breaks after abbreviations etc." (let ((sentence-end-double-space nil)) ad-do-it)) -- Kevin Rodgers ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
