How do you normally type plain English text in emacs?
It appears that emacs either doesn't break lines at all (i.e., it just 
wraps a line if it exceeds the screen width, disregarding word 
boundaries), or inserts newlines when you run 'fill' command! Or 
Fundamental is not a proper mode for exiting text (which mode I need, then)?

How can I make emacs automatically format paragraphs visually, without 
breaking words and without inserting newlines?
