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
