You might find the tidy utility (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) handy
for this operation. It accepts the "-wrap N" option, which works great
in my toolchains, but I've never tried it on Mailman archives.
fmt(1) is not robust, either. It will format the whole file with
a single-minded determination. This includes mail headers,
attachments, blah blah. it might even break the html. There
are many unexpected consequences.
tidy won't break the HTML, at least, but there may indeed be
unintended consequences. Testing suggested. :-)
