(setq-default sentence-end "[.?!][]\"')}]*[ \n]+")
(setq-default paragraph-start "^[|:> \t]*$")
(setq-default paragraph-separate (default-value 'paragraph-start))
(setq adaptive-fill-regexp (substring (default-value 'paragraph-start) 1 -1))

in .emacs and using M-q to rewrap works nicely here.  I would imagine
other editors can do the same.
