Yes, you could -- file type detection works either by filename extension
or, if that fails, by examining the first line or the first few lines in
the text. I use that feature for source code editing ...
To use it for email ... you could edit $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim so it'd
detect that you were editing a mail message based on the initial line,
if you've got mutt configured correctly (the first line in the message
which I'm editing right now is the From: line which my message will
contain -- you could detect that or the equiv).
But that seems like more indirection than is useful...
