Here's what I have in my .emacs file:

	(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

If I want the hook to do more than one thing then I make a function
and stick it in a .el file and autoload it, for example for tex-mode I
have in my .emacs file:

	(setq load-path
	      (append (list (expand-file-name "~/lib/emacs")) load-path))

	(setq tex-mode-hook 'my-tex-mode-hook)
	(autoload 'my-tex-mode-hook "tex-mode-hook")

and ~/lib/emacs/tex-mode-hook.el contains:

	(defun my-tex-mode-hook ()
	  "Do this stuff when in tex-mode."
	  (progn
	    (setq fill-column 70)
	    (turn-on-auto-fill)))

There's probably a less complicated way to do this but I decided a
while ago to keep my .emacs file as small as possible and autoload
as much stuff as possible.
