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. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me! CV below) computer projects: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 internet activity: http://home.student.uu.se/embe8573
