You mean I should cancel the letter and rewrite from scratch if I discover that I forgot a word so the paragraph should be reflowed? I think I'll abstain. That aside, I sometimes wish Emacs had a 'fill-paragraph-from-point', so I could fix little nits like the abandoned sentence-starting "I" in the previous paragraph. On the other hand, it now has automatic detection of common line prefixes, so it does the right thing when I reformat a quoted paragraph.
