Hi again. I send the msg below a few weeks ago, and got a reasonable response from Ross Glover. However, I'm still convinced that I would prefer to try orgmode with different word wrapping. I'm looking for a way to get orgmode buffers to be in visual-line-mode and org-indent-mode only. That is, I'm looking to turn off truncate-lines and auto-fill-mode. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Much obliged. Cheers. Fil Salustri On 25 December 2010 00:30, Filippo A.
