I struggled a lot with that but I finally got it working. I seem
remebering having to change one of the .el files in the mode but I cannot
remember what I finally did to get it working. Anyway here are the two
lines I got in my .emacs start-up file
(setq-default fill-column 78)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
One reason some people are disgusted with emacs is the changes that RMS
and company puts in emacs files. Everytime a new version comes up it seems
to break some old code that used to work.
