I couldn't agree more.  Maybe some  lisp  code  which  could be used  with
text-mode in emacs. I have for some time been  thinking a tool which would
fill in extra  spaces to make  straight  margins (like this text) would be
cool. I myself don't know enough lisp, but this group has prodused similar
things before.
