FWIW, You shouldn't have to worry about newlines. If Emacs is setup properly they should never appear except at sentence boundaries. Which is to say, autofill and fill-paragraph know not to break lines in the middle of a sentence after punctuation. If the user adds a newline manually you can assume they meant it to be a new sentence. IIRC the variable at play is `sentence-end-double-space'.
