David, please start a new thread when you change the topic. There's no reason to make this a followup to an existing thread, and by doing so, you degrade the usefulness of having threading in mail clients. I don't know if I need to list the advantages of having threading!?!
Auto-fill mode hard wraps lines of text (on word endings) when you get past n chars in a line. Alt-Q re-linebreaks a whole paragraph so it fits nicely within n chars.
There's currently no hard wrap in TextMate but you can re-wrap a paragraph using ctrl-F or ctrl-shift-F to have it with non-ragged right margin.
If you make a column selection and use any of these actions, it'll wrap the paragraph so that it fits inside the margins of the column selection. Like I have done for this paragraph! :)
