If your input file is ascii, you can format it using nroff(1) or troff(1).
Example:

nroff /u/sandyl/sm_o_commdt_archive/c


Will format the file and display it to the screen so that both left and right margins are evenly adjusted. Of course, you can then pipe it uuencode, or whatever you need to do. nroff defaults to 6.5 inch lines, 11 inch long paper. Read the nroff or troff man pages for more info, but that example should work....let us know if not.
