Subject: filling more narrowly --- or unfilling -- for export to email, upon ascii export

i get pretty confused about this.  i often write things in org, with my own
fill column, and m-q.  and various half-broken tricks to try to fill/unfill.

then i want to send email, preferably via ascii export.  i do not know
whehter i should try to fill to a shorter column [in org i use 60 normally]
because the recipient might have a smaller window for reading the mail, or
unfill everything.

unfilled paragraphs seems to be the norm in email these days for
nontechnical folk.  but org has plain lists and things, which need
org-style unfilling.

i do not know how to accurately unfill everything or if it's a good idea.

can this be optionally done at ascii export time?  unfilling everything or
filling to a narrower column?  for sending via email.


separately... PERHAPS?... i should figure out how to not fill any of my
paragraphs....  but htat is a big step.  with visual stuff.
