I have this here bound to `SUPER-t':

    (defun sr-toggle-truncate-lines ()
      "Lange Zeilen abschneiden, oder eben nicht."
      (interactive)
      (setq truncate-lines (if truncate-lines nil t)))

I use it to toggle truncate-lines in the rare cases I have to edit a
longish piece of text, that must be on one line.

auto-fill-mode is wonderfull.  I just type ahead and it breaks the lines
as desired.  I use in all buffers.


visual-line-mode and longlines-mode are not an option.
(I confess, that I even refuse to read such unformatted e-mails every
now and then.  Those mails are unreadable on a large screen with
longlines-mode turned off =P )
