Personally, I quit using fmt because it doesn't preserve indentation and
it loses the double space I like to put between sentences.  I use either
the public domain program mfold or I use vile with it's builtin reformatting
capabilities (^Af).  It can reformat an entire document, a paragraph, several
paragraphs or to a marker.  It understands paragraphs and preserves the
indentation.  Mfold has many other capabilities also, such as producing
multi-column output.
