Yup. Many good text editors have this functionality.
I use jed, and wrap text at 64 characters, which is the width
of my signature. To do this, I have mutt invoke jed with "jed
-f mail_mode", and I've put the contributed mail mode sources
in my jed scripts directory.
There are a few reasons I picked jed:
- It's like emacs, but...
- It starts up fast.
- It works well in a terminal, and has nice colors.
- The paragraph-fill function respects quoting. (it wrapped
your original message from 2 to 3 lines, and did all the
quoting and formatting automatically)
But use whatever you like. It can be a bit annoying at times
to hit alt-q on each quoted paragraph I want to reformat, but
it's much better than leaving it long or manually wrapping.
