Hmmm... The idea in Emacs is that you don't want auto-fill-mode for, say C
source files or other source code files. So they think that for each kind of
file there is a special mode that does the right thing. If you really want,
you can get auto-fill-mode for every file you visit by saying:

	(setq find-file-hooks
	      '(lambda () (auto-fill-mode 1)))

Note, however, that not every buffer belongs to a file. The *scratch* buffer
you get when you start up Emacs without args does not belong to a file, so
auto-fill-mode will be off there.

However, I do not miss the feature of having auto-fill-mode in every buffer
because my text files are usually in TeX-mode or LaTeX-mode or mail-mode or
news-mode or something.

	Hope this gives you some info,
