Put (auto-fill-mode 1) into .Emacs. Do you know C-h f (aka
describe-function) and C-h v (describe-variable) ?

,----[ C-h f auto-fill-mode RET ]
| auto-fill-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
| (auto-fill-mode &optional ARG)
| 
| Toggle Auto Fill mode.
| With arg, turn Auto Fill mode on if and only if arg is positive.
| In Auto Fill mode, inserting a space at a column beyond `current-fill-column'
| automatically breaks the line at a previous space.
| 
| The value of `normal-auto-fill-function' specifies the function to use
| for `auto-fill-function' when turning Auto Fill mode on.

  And 'C-h i'?

    ,----[ (info "(emacs)Auto Fill") ]
    | Auto Fill mode is a minor mode which is enabled or disabled
    | for each buffer individually.
    `----

  So only adding (auto-fill-mode 1) in his '.emacs.el' is not
enough.  He has to add this in the hook of each major mode for
which he want Auto Fill Mode enabled (and can in addition use
'turn-on-auto-fill'):

    (add-hook 'the-mode 'turn-on-auto-fill)

On GNU Emacs 24.0.50.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2010-05-09 on g41r2f1, I noticed that auto-fill-mode isn't working with

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

in my .emacs.

I did emacs -Q, evaluated the above and visited a plain text file,
auto-fill wasn't working---in fact, it's not working in this message
buffer either ... it's gotta be me ... what the?

Please try a bootstrap and see if it fixes your problem.

Yep.  Thank you for the patient reminder.
