Hi Thomas,

i think this list is not the right place for such questions... You
should better ask on gnu.emacs.help - but of course, you'll find
answers here as well!

Somewhere in your .emacs:
(setq make-backup-files nil)

... and this is a good default.  The easy way is to turn it off for
specific modes only:

(add-hook 'planner-mode-hook 'turn-off-auto-fill)
