If a line is too long, it will insert a hard CR at the last possible word break that will keep the line length <= 70 characters. (Trailing spaces are eliminated.) Your problem stems from the fact that it thinks hyphenated words can be broken after the hyphen. The solution is to insert your own CRs.
