   While I already responded to this, here is a test with nano and the "set fill   
   72" option set in .nanorc. With this setting, while replying, going to the   
   first quote character in your unwrapped long line/paragraph and hitting CTRL-J   
   wraps the entire sentence/paragraph at 72 characters quite nicely (much like   
   the 'gq' does in vim).   
      
   However, as of right now the spaces at the end of the lines are included (to   
   keep flowed text in tact), and in a quote this may not be wanted. Otherwise,   
   if it wraps the quoted text nicely then we may be on to something here! :)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
