And `setq-default' sets it where it isn't set! But do I set it where it is set? I am to hunt down these buffers manually? Observe the below [last] Elisp. We see/understand that fill-column isn't of the "buffer instance metadata" use case. It is just normal data. If one wants that different in different parts of Emacs, why don't you do as `message-mode' and get your own variable? So yeah, what do you do if you just want to set it to something, everywhere? (require 'message) (let ((fill-col 62)) (setq fill-column fill-col) ; only sets it in this buffer since "Automatically becomes buffer-local when set." (setq-default fill-column fill-col) ; sets it where it isn't set (setq message-fill-column fill-col) ; no problem since not auto buffer-local ) -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
