There are many ways to do that. Manually, place the
cursor (or "point") somewhere in a too-long line, and
press M-q (for `fill-paragraph'). If you like it,
consider enabling `auto-fill-mode' - that way, Emacs
will fill for you, when you type.
You can setup line width with the variable
`fill-column' - for example like this, in ~/.emacs
(setq fill-column 55)

M-q worked like a charm! Letter printed and mailed. Thank you!

I'm a beginning Emacs user who'd like to print a buffer. The buffer is a
letter to a friend, and at present when I use M-x print-buffer or
M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces there's no word wrap.
I've looked around a little and have seen some people recommending
enscript, but it seems complicated for me, and I really don't need
anything beyond basic margins and word wrap.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
steven arntson
