Cool, thanks. Actually I think I saw that at TPC too.
Minor problemette is, when 1.0.4 is called at the end of the file:
Can't call method signature on an undefined value at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.0/Text/Autoformat.pm line 779.
Paul, having thoughts about using nvi with its embedded perl interpreter
to speed that up a bit...
Re: Email Style (was: Re: Election Manifestos)
Damian is so cool... The next version of Text::Autoformat (which should be out before TPC5) will also leave header lines and sigs unmolested, making it truly useful for email tidying. Now if he'd just stop blaming me for stuff like DWIM.pm... ;-) Well, I would if you'd just stop putting those evil thoughts in my head... ;-) Damian

The first does the current paragraph, the second does all paragraphs
down to the end of the document.
