OK this has started to get on my nerves now. I use vi to enter emails despite using evil emacs for development and other general editing. Rather than linking them together (they're on seperate machines) to enter emails in emacs I'd rather figure out something interesting about vi.
At the moment I limit lines to 72 characters through a laborious process of finding the appropriate space character myself and replacing it with a ^M. Obviously nonsense which is why I sometimes don't bother. (Sorry). I know about fmt and could easily concoct the pipeline to format each paragraph but I wonder if there's something that can correctly parse the whole email and format the entire thing en masse without me writing what would undoubtedly be Yet Another Poor Implementation. Alternatively is there something that would make vi do it on the fly, or something akin to emacs' C-q or vim's gq. Although I appreciate the fact that vi doesn't try to be clever. Thanks, Matthew
