  • @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. Commented Apr 5, 2012 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.
