Subject: auto-fill... eh

Quote from the emacs manual
Auto Fill mode does not refill entire paragraphs; it can break
lines but cannot merge lines. So editing in the middle of a paragraph
can result in a paragraph that is not correctly filled. The easiest
way to make the paragraph properly filled again is usually with the
explicit fill commands. See *Note Fill Commands::.
This kinda bothers me. I really want auto-fill to behave the way it
does in every other program. eg if you go back to the middle of a
paragraph and start typing, I would like it to fill correctly. See
the Mozilla Mail client for an example of the behavior I mean. I'm
sure there are others but that's what sprang to mind.
I am so so at lisp but I wanted to ask if anyone else had done this
or knew how before I blew the cobwebs off the lisp part of my brain.
Thanks.
John
