(I am assuming that auto-fill-mode is turned on.) I am trying to figure out how to turn this feature off in text-mode. In particular, when I am sending mail (using the emacs editor), if I write: Dear Sir or Madam: It has come to my attention... by the time I get to the second line of the letter, emacs automatically aligns that line under the sentence ("It has come to my attention..."). I would prefer to have the wordwrapping feature start the second line fully left justified and not indented. I am looking for some appropriate command for my .emacs file, but I have not found it.
