This should not be enabled by default; either you are activating it in
your .emacs or some mode you are using is activating it. Since it's
buffer-local, it is probably being set in a hook so it activates for
each new buffer.

But one thing I like to do is set comment-auto-fill-only-comments to t
so that auto-fill doesn't happen unless you're in comments. Of course,
if you set this globally it won't work in text-mode or other non-coding
modes that don't have any notion of comments, so I have this in my
coding hook:

(set (make-local-variable 'comment-auto-fill-only-comments) t)

Thanks Phil,

yes, something must be activating it by default. I'll figure out what eventually ...

re:  (set (make-local-variable 'comment-auto-fill-only-comments) t)

that's a useful tip, thanks.
