Don't send a mailer to do an editor's job!  :)

Some editors have a built-in function to wrap text.  For example, Vim
uses the key sequences 'gq'.  If your editor lacks that function, you
can always pipe the contents through a Unix filter such as 'par' that
does the same job (it actually does a better job, IMHO).
