Every line, except the last one, should end with chr(13)+chr(10). I don't want words to be split, and I don't want signs, like comma, point, exclamation mark and so on to be moved to the beginning of a new lines. Sounds easy, but I have found it to be much trickier that I thought. Or maybe it's just me who have entered weekend mode too early?

Seems like a good place for a custom function/method that takes the string and the line length.
