For a single open file, the script below.  There are various options 
for looing through a whole folder.

         tell application "BBEdit"
           tell the front window -- or named window
             remove line breaks
             rewrap quoted text width 72
             -- save ...
             -- close ...
           end tell
         end tell

If you don't want to open the files inn BBEdit then the job could be 
done in no time with Perl, using 
<http://perldoc.perl.org/Text/Wrap.html> for example.
