Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do? 

 Send mail with comp.

What's wrong:

 When I type into the draft buffer, when the cursor hits the right border
of the window, it prints a \, and doesn't wrap on a word boundary.

What should have happened:
 When composing mail with the default setup, emacs should default to text
fill rather than fundamental mode.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons
                       (cons "draft" (lambda () 
                                       (text-mode)
                                       (auto-fill-mode)))
                       auto-mode-alist))
