Hi. I don't want to keep auto-fill mode on all the time. Nevertheless,
frequently I finish writing a buffer, and then afterwards remember
that I forgot to turn on auto-fill mode. Is there a command that will
reformat the text as though I had been typing with auto-fill mode on?

C-x h M-q

Might break source blocks so replace M-q with M-x fill-individual-paragraphs. 

M

Is 'fill-region' what you're looking for?
