I asked the same question about a month ago. The only aswer I got was 
to use the AUC-TEX package with Emacs. This works nice (but it is 
a bit slow since it builds parse-trees etc for the document)

The is a special function LaTeX-fill-buffer to reformat your whole buffer
but this may (or will?) destroy your verbatim and table/tabular formatting.
I suggest to use the LaTeX-fill-paragraph function (in AUC-TEX mode bound 
to M-q) to reformat every paragraph manually since you will have more control
that way (it's a little more work but it's worth it).
