We could arrange for Auto-Fill mode to be controlled by a variable auto-fill-mode. Change the auto-fill code so that two variables control it: (and auto-fill-mode auto-fill-function (funcall auto-fill-function ...)). Then we could leave auto-fill-function set up all the time, and enable/disable the mode by setting auto-fill-mode as with most other minor modes. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
