- Yes, if you are using the sun mailtool, just select all the text, push the right
- mouse button, and under the "extras" you will find a command for "format".
-
- This will reformat all the lines. Watch out, it will mess up tables and other
- lines you may have set up. You can just select around these, and run the format
- multiple times.
