In VIM 6.0 use $VIM/ftplugin/mail.vim to make these settings, and use
"setlocal" instead of "set", e.g. (a mix of my own stuff and your
settings):
setlocal tabstop=3
setlocal shiftwidth=3
setlocal noexpandtab
setlocal textwidth=65

You should consider using expandtab in mail, as you can not know what the
recipient has set the TAB character to be displayed as (most likely as 8
SPACEs).
Hope this helps
