The EMACS (version 21.2.93.1) installed with Mandrake 9.0 was fine but 
I'm having a couple of problems with one in Mandrake 9.1.

Anyone know the answers?

First problem is that I can't seem to work out how to cut and paste text 
from EMACS to Mozilla( version 1.3.10).  Copying the other way round 
works fine but neither ctrl-v nor the middle mouse button will past the 
text in.  This sounds more like it's maybe a Mozilla problem rather than 
EMACS?

---------------------------

The other problem is that whenever I bring up a new EMACS buffer it puts 
it into auto-fill mode which I find extremely annoying.  The problem is 
that I can't seem to stop it from doing this.  I can turn it off with:

M-x auto-fill-mode

but any new buffer created comes up in auto-fill mode again.   I've read 
through the manual and tried these in my .emacs, without luck:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill)
(setq-default auto-fill-mode 0)
(auto-fill-mode 0)

New buffers *still* come up in auto-fill mode.  I've tried turning it 
off using the Options pulldown, which claims to disable it for all text 
mode buffers but that doesn't work either (it only works for the current 
buffer).  Saving those options from the pulldown puts this in the .emacs 
file:

(custom-set-variables
...
...
'(text-mode-hook (quote (turn-on-auto-fill turn-off-auto-fill 
text-mode-hook-identify)))
..
...

But that has no effect. Any ideas?  Have Mandrake somehow changed the 
auto fill mode so it can't be turned off?
