Auto-fill mode is incredibly annoying to me. Unfortunately, I can't find any way to make it default to off. I've changed the option and used the "Save Options" function, but it still comes up as auto-fill on. I've added the following lines to my .emacs (and to .xemacs/init.el) (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill) and it still comes up with auto-fill on. There has got to be some way to get this to default to off. Would someone be so kind as to let me in on the secret? tia ---Michael
