Hi,
I would like to set my fill-column variable to a bit higher value since I
have no real need to keep it at 70, however my attempts seem not to be
working.
The relevant section in .emacs looks like this:
,-----
| (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
`-----
I then added this line:
,-----
| (setq fill-column 85)
`-----
I've tried using it before and after the text-mode-hook setting above, but
when I restart emacs and do =C-x f= to set the fill-column variable to 85,
the minibuffer reports:
,-----
| Fill column set to 85 (was 70)
`-----
Something isn't getting set. I guess this isn't necessarily an org-mode
issue, but I thought someone might know why it's happening here? I can't
find much discussion when searching for org-mode users also using fill and
if they set the fill-column value or not.
Thanks,
John

It becomes buffer-local when set in any way. Try
(setq-default fill-column 85)
in your .emacs.
