Some modes like Auto Fill mode only get turned on for a specific
buffer.
When you change buffers you are NOT in Auto Fill mode anymore!
How turn on a mode ALWAYS?
This works but I wonder if there is a simpler way that will work for
other modes:
(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'turn-on-auto-fill)

There is probably some global way to set it ALWAYS but...
I define a lambda function that I hook in for all my major modes and then
put all the stuff I want turned on in it i.e. the following is typical of
what I have in my .emacs
(add-hook 'ada-mode-hook
(lambda ()
;; add your customizations here... this can set
;; variables, turn on minor modes, etc.
(tmmofl-mode)
(show-paren-mode)
(else-mode)
(setq else-follow-menus nil)))
Since I only ever look at a limited set of file types i.e. major modes, this
has worked perfectly well for me.

If you want to make a buffer local minor mode to be turned on
automatically for a lot of buffers you can use
define-globalized-minor-mode.
