> # -*- truncate-lines: t; -*-

This works nicely, thank you! Never knew about these.

By the way, I got the STARTUP to function. Turns out it's enough to set truncate-lines variable and the change is picked up automatically (docs say: "Calls these functions when changed: (#<subr set-buffer-redisplay>)"). Here is the code shall someone need it:

(eval-after-load 'org
  (lambda ()
    (setq org-startup-truncated nil)
    (push (list "truncate" 'truncate-lines t) org-startup-options)
    (push (list "notruncate" 'truncate-lines nil) org-startup-options)))

Note that (setq org-startup-truncated nil) is needed for the notruncate option to work. Plus the stuff in the org-mode-hook runs after the STARTUP lines, so beware that it can also cause interference.

Thanks all!

You could use file local variables for this, e.g.

# Local Variables:
# truncate-lines: t
# End:

at the end of your org file or

# -*- truncate-lines: t; -*-

as the first line of your file.

This is not org specific so I guess there is no real justification for
an org variable for this feature.
