in my lesspipe.sh:

        *.txt) sed 's'^ //' $1 | fmt -c -t -w 60 2>/dev/null ;;
        *.txt.gz) gzip -dc $1 | sed 's'^ //' | fmt -c -t -w 60 2>/dev/null ;;
        
The sed at the begining is to strip the three spaces lynx puts at the
beginning of an html file when it prints it as text.

fmt doesn't work properly, however, with text that isn't separated into
paragraphs by blank lines.
