The first part (set wrap) is to set the wrap mode. That means that long
lines will be broken as you type past a certain column. The second part
is +`awk ......`. The awk portion evaluates to the line number of first
line after the first blank line in the file. In case of mail, if you
have edit_headers on, this will the first line of mail body. Thus, for
example, the second option will evaluate to something like '+13'
(assuming you have 11 header lines and a blank after that in that
particular mail). This will prompt vim to advance the cursor by those
many lines allowing you type your mail right there.
That's what I decode from the script, but, I am no expert in vim. I use
emacs for editing (No, I don't hate vim, so no holy wars, please :).
