AFAIK, that's because this is the default in Emacs's commands that manipulate ChangeLog entries. Here: (define-derived-mode change-log-mode text-mode "Change Log" "Major mode for editing change logs; like Indented Text mode. Prevents numeric backups and sets `left-margin' to 8 and `fill-column' to 74. New log entries are usually made with \\[add-change-log-entry] or \\[add-change-log-entry-other-window]. Each entry behaves as a paragraph, and the entries for one day as a page. Runs `change-log-mode-hook'. \n\\{change-log-mode-map}" (setq left-margin 8 fill-column 74 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< indent-tabs-mode t tab-width 8 show-trailing-whitespace t)
