Here are three ways (with minor variations).

1.  Right click on the word fill and then uncheck the "auto fill"
    option (only affects this buffer).

2A. Type "M-x auto-fill-mode" (toggles auto-fill for this buffer)

2B. Type "C-u 0 M-x auto-fill-mode" (turns off, not toggle, auto
    fill for this buffer).

3A. Add this to .emacs (untested), repeating the last line
       for each major mode that should not be auto-filled
       (defun ken-no-auto-fill ()
         "Turn off auto filling"
         (auto-fill-mode 0))
       (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook 'ken-no-auto-fill)

3B. If you have only one major mode of interest, the following is shorter
       (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook (lambda () (auto-fill-mode 0)))
