There is a function to word-wrap automatically, but I finally disabled it because it was annoying in some cases, e.g. when mailing code or log files or something similar. I prefer to do that manually with Esc-q (or M-q). If you want to reformat quoted text, emacs is quite bad at this, and I've never found *perfect* LISP code to do that. :( -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
