Formatting plain text: msg#00017

Subject: Formatting plain text
I have a batch of data as db tables (with Class::DBI) which I format for
HTML using Template Toolkit.

I also want to generate plain text emails with reasonably attractive
formatting of this data.

One approach would be to write a script that formats these using the
inbuilt perl formatting directives.

Is there a clean TT method of doing something like this - ie "picture
based formatting" with the ability to line wrap, fill, indent etc.

Cheers
        Nigel.
