First, switch to the buffer you want to word-wrap at column 77. Then
do the following commands.

M-X auto-fill-mode
^U77M-Xset-fill-column

If you mean by "from the command line", that you want something to
feed to emacs on the bash command line (vs. the Emacs internal command
line), then *I* would use the following on the emacs command line:

- --eval="(progn(auto-fill-mode)(set-fill-column 77))" outgoing.txt

But it doesn't appear to work. Anyone have any ideas? (I suspect the
'eval' is done before the file is visited, but I'm not sure.)
