I'd enhance that to:
If (there's a capital letter at the start of a new line) AND (the
previous line ends before wrapcolumn minus length of first word
in the new line)
<insert new line>
else if (there's two or more spaces or <tab> in the start of a new
line)
<insert new line>
else
<do nothing>
end if
This rule should work all the time with 99% accuracy, except in cases
where the moron that doesn't use blank line between paragraphs doesn't
put capital letter at start of a new sentence, and where neither the
human would be able to see if there is a new paragraph (in cases where
last paragraph ends at the very end of the line).
But I don't think this can be done in TB!. :( :)
