Any idea how to get vim to do proper automatic word-wrapping like that
of Netscape or any word processor?  I've fiddled around with a couple of
options and can get it to wrap automatically when I type something but
if I go back and edit something on a previous line then it will push
all of this past the textwidth I've specified and make it all ugly again
and I have to manually re-format it... I know there must be a better
way!

Thanks in advance,

Christian.
