   I add my thanks to those of others.  I don't use nn myself, but   
   greatly appreciate the efforts of anyone maintaining programs of   
   value to the community.

   For what it's worth, slrn does this with the command "w" (for   
   "wrap" I suppose) while reading articles.  Maybe knowing what to   
   look for in that code would simplify using some of it?  I could be   
   way off base here, having only ever glanced at sources.
