how can I make the text fow within a certain area, say: a width of 72 columns? The text should behave just as if it was typed into some word processor like word. Deleting a word or two in the first line should lead to the remaining lines rearranging.
I know about the M-q key which does exactly what I want. But I want emacs to do this automatically.

M-x longlines-mode RET
note: when you save the file, each paragraph is saved as one long line, i.e., the wrapping is done with soft newlines which aren't saved to disk. also, this mode seems to mess up line numbering for things like forward and inverse search in AUCTeX or for jumping to compilation errors in LaTeX files.

That's fine for me, as I'm writing normal Text, and no TeX things.
