It's called `auto-fill-mode'. It's not on by default!

Find the hook* that turns it on and undo it--that is, look for
code that uses something like

    turn-on-auto-fill or (auto-fill-mode 1)

and remove it, or add a hook function that turns it off:

   (add-hook 'THE-HOOK* 'turn-off-auto-fill).


[*] The most relevant hooks are

    text-mode-hook                             (all text modes)
    {tex-mode,latex-mode,plain-tex-mode}-hook  (default Emacs [La]TeX mode)
    {TeX-mode,LaTeX-mode,plain-TeX-mode}-hook  (AUCTeX)
