Much the easiest way to do this, which works almost infallibly, is simply 
to go to format->autoformat->apply. I just cleaned up a 4,000 word email 
like that with only two misjudgements of where the paragraph breaks should 
come. All the other returns were unwrapped and the paragraph breaks were 
preserved.
