I recently discovered longlines mode in Emacs (after having been a regular user for 5 yrs!). So I set in my .emacs file

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

(do I still need auto-fill? I can’t tell…) which also sets org-mode to operate in longlines-mode as well. This seems to mess up the table construction functionality so I’d like to disable longlines mode for org-mode (which appears to incorporate text-mode-hooks) but keep it enabled for text (.txt) files.

I wonder if anyone has a solution to this? I am slowly picking up bits of Emacs Lisp but have not studied up on manipulating mode-hooks yet…

Thanks much! -Stephen

    Try visual-line-mode, which supplants longlines-mode since Emacs-23.1.
