longlines mode mangles auto-save restores?

[John Withers]

I use longlines.el for almost all of my non-code work, including org
mode. It does what I need and makes me happy the problem I run into tho
is that when files are autosaved and then restored, they come out
without any returns in them and in states of great unusability and
ugliness. I am fairly sure this is a result of longlines interacting
with autosave (although I could be wrong)

Can anyone give me a heads up on how to make longlines and autosave work
and play well together?

Thanks.

What does the longlines documentation tell about hooks? Do you know  
file local variables? Some can be put at the file's beginning as in:

	-*- mode: LaTeX; coding: utf-8; -*-

or at its end:

	%%% Local Variables:
	%%% mode: latex
	%%% fill-column: 99999
	%%% TeX-master: t
	%%% End:

IMO, that of a non-longlines user, the fill-column and mode settings  
look very promising.
