       sjlawson, well if you use emacs you can add something
       like this in your ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
       
       (add-hook 'text-mode-hook
           (lambda()
             (setq fill-column 70)))
       
       So all your .txt files will automatically be hard wrapped
       at 70COL. Now you might not want that permanent so in
       that case you can simply manually enable fill-column
       for the working buffer you're in with:
       
       M-x set-fill-column RET
       
       And if you want an indicator like Anna does, you can use:
       
       M-x display-fill-column-indicator-mode RET
       
       to activate it in the current buffer.
       
       Personally I have mapped it to a keybinding as such (in
       ~/.emacs.d/init.el):

       (global-set-key (kbd "C-c i") 'display-fill-column-indicator-mode)
       
       So I just need to C-c i in the current buffer to have
       a vertical line showing me the current max width.
