(newbie warning).

So I understand about (add-hook...) but I can't find the hook I
want. Basically, I have visual-line-mode turned on globally, but I want
to disable it when I view the headers in mu4e.

The buffer is called *mu4e-headers* and I can see the major mode is
mu4e-headers but the following code has no effect:

(add-hook 'mu4e-headers-hook
  (lambda ()
    (visual-line-mode 0)))

I am not sure how 'hooks' are created - I searched through the source
code for my4e-headers-hook but couldn't find it.

Assuming this is the right approach, how can I say 'when the major mode
is X then do this'. What is the idiomatic Emacs way?

Thanks!

Sent with my mu4e
