I didn't state my question clearly enough: I want Mail to automatically perform a whole-word wrap whenever I hit the right margin, _without going into vi_ or any other editor. I'm trying to keep the actions as simple as possible (preferably something in the environment to be set in the login files, so that the user doesn't even see it. Again, please respond directly to moore@NCSC.arpa if you have any ideas, and thanks for listening. Jim

I also needed a way to word wrap files for mailing etc. I wrote a
thing called 'br' which will break long lines in a file/stream into
short ones. I can't see how to this automatically when you hit return.
Wht I do is type in the text using 'i' as one long paragraph and then ESCape
to command and type '!{br 78' which reformats it.
This is less than perfect. If some has a better way I'd like to here about it.
