For org documents, I switched to visual-line-mode and org-indent mode a while back now after *years* using auto-fill. Visual-line-mode without org-indent is less =C3=A6sthetically pleasing, I find. I typically have one paragraph per line and this works well. It may be less efficient with respect to revision control, e.g. git, but the efficiency loss is minimal in my opinion. For LaTeX directives that I used to always put in #+latex: lines when I needed these within a paragraph, I now increasingly use @@latex:...@@. The only issue is working with wide tables. For this, I do have a key binding to toggle visual-line-mode on and off to make it easier to work with tables. It would be nice if somehow org knew not to allow visual-line-mode to wrap tables but I would imagine this would be difficult if not impossible. For emails, I continue to use auto-fill-mode however. --=20 : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.2, Org release_8.3beta-1315-ga3b= 2b7
