reformat messages without adding returns

reformat messages without adding returns

Hi

I know I can reformat a paragraph by using M-Ret but tis also adds teo
empty lines and it only reformats the paragraph after the location of
the cursor.

Is there a way of reformating (mainly fixing long lines in replies) in
the *wholw* message *without* adding extra lines?

Thanks,

Rainer

C-q, (quoted-insert).

Sorry, my memory failed me.  It is C-c C-q,
(message-fill-yanked-message).

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.
