Mutt, pine etc wrap mails quite well when reading them

Then there's stuff you can do with :gq in vim ... or to autowrap -

# Use mutt.editor as our editor
set editor="vim +':set textwidth=77' +':set wrap' +\`awk '/^$/ {print i+2; exit} 
{i++}' %s\` %s"

LOST #061        -**< Sub : 16-bit DOS partition thru Linux >**-
Formatting a DOS-16 bit partition in Linux:
a) Through Linux fdisk mark  the partion predesignated for DOS
   FAT-16 as Type 4 (if it is < 32 mb) or Type 6 (if > 32 mb).
b) mkdosfs (man mkdosfs for details). The minimum options are:
   #mkdosfs -c -f FAT-16 -n volume-label /dev/hdxN
