Not *quite*. Take for example, the following:
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line.
and a short line here
and another short line but a bit longer
Compare the results with "fold" versus "fmt" (or "par"). The only
thing that "fold" really does is prevent mutt from having to deal with
extremely long lines (as far as display goes, it achieves the same
thing as "unset markers").
In "fold" the above becomes:
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line.
and a short line here
and another short line but a bit longer
But in "fmt" the above becomes:
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line. this is going to be a very long line.
this is going to be a very long line. and a short line here and another short
line but a bit longer

love, is irrelevant; it is the bravery and the gallantry that count.
