Easily, though you don't need to drag external programs like fmt into it - perl comes with a standard module for word wrapping.

Text::Balanced (for extracting the quoted text) and Text::Wrap would be the core of such a program.

Could you write it for me as a one-liner? I’d like to learn more Perl and this would help.

Oh, I wouldn't try to squeeze it down into a one liner. Maybe for a simple definition of the quoted text that doesn't need to account for edge cases like escaped quotes inside...

Just a normal program then? No edge cases needed
