I think it would be better for the RTF output generation to insert the 
spaces: it's pretty flakey for it to assume that the input file will 
always be formatted exactly like that :-)

That's how the wordwrap works in FED: if a line has a trailing space, it 
will wrap between it and the next line, but if there is no space on the 
end, it treats this as a hard break and will never wrap words off the end 
of this line onto the beginning of the next. So things automatically end 
up formatted like that if I just type them in using the wordwrap, and if 
the spaces ever get messed up, I would notice very quickly because 
wordwrap would stop working properly.
