[vile] Annoying difference between wrapmargin and fillcol

[Chris G]

I'm have been using wrapwords and fillcol=70 instead of wrapmargin=10
for the past few weeks and there is an annoying difference between the
ways that the two approaches work.

When you set wrapmargin=10 then the moment a word *begins* to encroach
into the last ten columns of the window it is moved to the next line.
However when you have wrapwords and fillcol=70 the moving of a word to
the next line only occurs when you complete the word and type a space
after it.  This means that if you happened to complete a line with a
word that extends beyond column 70 and then stop insertion (end of
message, move to somewhere else, whatever) the word isn't wrapped.

Using wrapwords and fillcol=70 makes composing mail and news messages
more convenient by making it easy to keep within 80 columns without
being dependent on the window's width but the above quirk makes it
slightly less than perfect.
