To my dismay, I find that this version enforces a hard line break on or before 80 characters in a line. I've tried adding lines such as (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill) to my .emacs, and also tried (setq default-major-mode 'fundamental mode) Neither work. A lot of my usage is through a Firefox add-on called It's All Text!, which links a Web text box to the editor of your choice. I fill in Web forms a couple of hours a day for work; It's All Text! opens a new iteration of Emacs in every form, and to have to reset the behavior for every form would be a time sink. Note: This appears to be something in the Mandriva package. I've been using Emacs 21 and 22 on an older Ubuntu, and Emacs 23.1 on Pardus, and there's no enforced wordwrap on any of them. I've asked this same question on the Mandriva forum, hoping I can catch the eye of some package developer. But I'd also like to ask here, and I welcome hints as to where to look in other configuration files to try to find what is causing this.
