within most vi clones and derivatives, try
:set all
to see ALL the available options. one of them will do what
you're after (on my vim, it's "textwidth" or "tw" for short).
while we're at it, try
update-alternatives --display vi
to see which vi you're actually using.
if you're lucky (and a resource hog) you're actually using vim,
which has a 'textwidth' or 'tw' option instead. it just now
wrapped "which" and "wrapped" to the next line as i type this...
it also reformatted your long-line message above (complete with
leading ">" marks, at no extra charge) via typically obscure
command keystrokes g q i p which re-wraps the paragraph where
the cursor is.
if you're NOT using vim, and don't have resource constraints, do
apt-get install vim vim-rt
update-alternatives --configure vim
and see what you've been missing.
