Have you tried screen-lines.el?  It's at 
http://homepage1.nifty.com/bmonkey/emacs/elisp/screen-lines.el

;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides "Screen Lines" minor mode.
;; In this minor mode, the following standard commands work in terms of
;; screen lines, as opposed to text lines when they are called interactively.
;;
;;     `beginning-of-line' (C-a)
;;     `end-of-line'       (C-e)
;;     `next-line'         (C-n, down)
;;     `previous-line'     (C-p, up)
;;     `kill-line'         (C-k)
;;
;; Screen Lines minor mode should be handy when you edit a file with
;; long lines like this: <DT><A HREF="http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/emacs-keys.html"; 
ADD_DATE="977149523" LAST_VISIT="977488726" LAST_MODIFIED="977149517">Emacs keybinding help

;; In order to test this as you see this file, proceed as follows:
;;   1: Load this package:  M-x eval-buffer
;;   2: Toggle the mode for the current buffer: M-x screen-lines-mode
;;   3: Move around the above long line.
;;
;; You might want to check screenline.el written by Joshua E. Buhl
;; <josh@math.uni-bonn.de> which does text property business properly and
;; doesn't use `defadvice' facility.
;; Or window-lines.el by enami tsugutomo <enami@ptgd.sony.co.jp> which is
;; lightweight.
