Joe, you could also try the 'par' program, see:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=par
It has a lot of options and can handle more complex documents than fmt can.

This command erases all line breaks
sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n/ /;ta' -e 'P;D'
although you have to adapt it to not delete paragraphs. Using regex, the
line would then become something like
sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n[^\n]/ /;ta' -e 'P;D'
Good luck.

Single quotes go around the whole sed script unless you are using a
separate sed script file.

I am having trouble using sed to edit text files, heres a good example of what
I am looking for:
This is a test
file, what I am
trying to do is get the lines to join.
It isn't a complicated thing,
but I also want to keep the paragraphs
separate.
I try this command:
sed s/\n// / 1.txt > 2.tx
