I had posted, addressing Matthew Kleiman,

T> You can always reprogram your robomoderator to divert posts for your atten-
T> tion, rather than rejecting them, if their only violation is being too wide.

Chuq Von Rospach quoted that paragraph from my post, including only my name
and not Matthew's, and he responded,

V> simply run them through a filter that formats them if you want -- use
V> fmt. If you're really sharp, only run the long paragraphs through...

Just to make sure it's clear, that paragraph from Chuq's post was additional
advice for Matthew, and "you" does not address the person whom he named.  As
I explained before, I've tried automatically running them through fmt and had
pretty poor results, mostly with cited text and with indentations at the
start of a paragraph (fmt has options to handle that, but I could never get
them to work as I hoped they would) so now I do it by hand.

My list has a few members who simply cannot grasp the idea of breaking their
paragraphs into lines, and all their posts land in the over-width folder.
