Sending emails in plain text format with Gmail wraps each line at ~70 characters. How can I copy the text from a received/sent mail without the line-breaks?

Based on your comment to your question begs the question what tool do you want to use: notepad, word pad, some Mac text editor,... – mhoran_psprep Apr 5 '12 at 15:35
@mhoran_psprep Preferably, I was looking for a way to copy the text 'unwrapped' directly from Gmail, but any tool will do as a last resort. – 0sh Apr 5 '12 at 17:10

One solution I found is to use TextMate's Unwrap paragraph function. Copy text from Gmail, paste into TextMate, then go Text->Unwrap paragraph.

Your answer should have been part of your question – mhoran_psprep Apr 5 '12 at 18:19
@mhoran_psprep Hate to disagree, but no, since it is not a question, but a solution=answer. – 0sh Apr 5 '12 at 18:42
