I used to use this to fix rmail mails:
(defun fill-mail ()
(interactive)
"Fill every overflow paragraph in the buffer. Don't justify.
Don't fill (mail) header lines."
(fill-individual-paragraphs (point-min) (point-max) nil "t") )
To fix Usenet posts in Gnus, I use gnus-article-fill-cited-article.
When I write messages, I first use the wrap minor mode, then
fill-paragraph.
Those should be bound to single key shortcuts that I can reach
without - eh - reaching (with either hand).
Actually, I have experienced problems with all three solutions,
and they could probably be automatized; I just have been busy on
other projects. (So any pointers are welcome.) But, for the OP,
all are worth to examine.
