I am constantly having to reformat text and unfortunately the email
editor in Thunderbird does not have that feature.

If you are running Linux there is a command line text editor called
Joe. It is a clone of Wordstar that was one of the very first
editors for DOS back in the late 70's.

I learned it then and I still love it.

To reformat all you do is press Ctr K J.

You can cut and paste text in an out of joe.

Does not work in the Linux Mint Version of TB.

Hm, that seems broken. For Mac and Windoze command-r or control-r works.
The feature is called rewrap, there should be a keyboard shortcut for it.

David



There is a rewrap but it does not work well and sometimes not at all.
Joe is much more consistent and always does a good job.
