[O] Export as ASCII whilst respecting current fill column

[Miguel Guedes]

Using org-mode version 7.93f, when exporting to ASCII it doesn't respect
the current fill column. Can this be enforced?

Also, I've noticed that org doesn't remove verbatim tags (=verbatim=)
but removes BEGIN_EXAMPLE blocks and presumably other BEGIN_xxx blocks;
is this by design?

Thanks very much for the tips -- they certainly helped!

 Miguel,
 
 Upgrade to current org-mode (version 8.2.6) before you do anything else.
 
 Then modify `org-ascii-text-width' to suit your needs.

 Same deal - upgrade. Then =xyz= becomes `xyz' on export.
