Hi,

I have a text file of 213K that is not wordwrapped in that every
paragraph fills the entire width of the emacs window.  Is there some
way to avoid having to M-q every paragraph?  I tried selecting whole
buffer then M-q but that only affected last paragraph.  It doesn't
seem to contain any definable end of line markers that I can search
and replace.

TIA

Francesco

Go to the start and evaluate the following:

(while (not (eobp)) 
        (fill-paragraph nil)
        (forward-paragraph))
