what exactly do you mean by "not preserved" ? do you mean
that if you add some words to the long line it will not
automatically wrap? do you mean you can't automatically
reformat ?
if you are looking for a way to reformat, then its what
others have suggested before.
you may want to make sure that your 'paste' option is not
set, or else smartindent is turned off and it wont wrap very
well. in fact, in that case the 'tw' is set to 0, and unless
you dont have wrapmargin set it is trouble.
also, you may want to take a look at 'formatoptions' to make
sure you've got it set the way you like it.
in any case, i guess i am not too sure what's the problem i
am trying to suggest a solution for, so i will stop now :)
hth,
