What is the difference between refill-mode and auto-fill-mode?
I tried to read the documentation, but in practice, I could not tell the difference. I feel they are doing the same thing. I can turn both modes on, but I am not sure in what circumstance I need to do so.

org-mode, auto new line at 80th column?
When I'm writing in org-mode I want it to automatically handle the creation of new lines similar to MS Word.

Pasting the lorem ipsum text in *scratch* (lines longer than 80) then going M-x fill-paragraph fills around column 66.
The same in c-mode. In this mode, comment wraps seem to work, but not raw text outside code.
If I…
