Well, it isn't exactly the solution you asked for, but you can use a
quick template to approximate the job.  You actually need two quick
templates:

====[QT wrap]====
%COMMENT="%CLIPBOARD"%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"
%COMMENT=""
====[End]====

====[QT wrap2]====
%IF:'%-
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)[^\n]+"%-
%REGEXPMATCH="%COMMENT"'<>'':'%-
%-
%WRAPPED=_%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="1"_
%-
%COMMENT=_%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^.*?(\n((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="5"_
%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"'
====[End]====

Note: I would have just posted the link to the original version* in the
archive, but these templates have been updated to work properly with
the current TB release (1.60q).

So with this set of templates, you'd select the paragraphs to be
reformatted, press <ctrl>-<x>, type "wrap" (without the quotes) then
<ctrl>-<space>.  That's it.  Note that this template system will also
work on quoted text.

Yes, but while this may seem like a nuisance, there is a benefit.
When you select text then press <alt>-<L>, TB assumes that the
selected text is one paragraph.  TB *only* reformats those lines.
That means that if you want to reformat one entry in a list, you can
select just that entry without ruining the list.
