I use a little function of my own design:
autocmd FileType mail command! Fixq call Fixflowed()
function! Fixflowed()
" save position
let l = line(".")
let c = col(".")
normal G$
" whiles are used to avoid nasty error messages
" add spaces to the end of every line
while search('[^]> :]\n> \?\%(> \?\)*[^> ]','w') > 0
s/\([^]> :]\)\n\(> \?\%(> \?\)*[^> ]\)/\1 \r\2/g
endwhile
" make sure there's only one space at the end of every line
while search('^.\{-}\s\{2,}$','w') > 0
s/^\(.\{-}\)\s\{2,}$/\1 /g
endwhile
" now, fix the wockas spacing from the text
while search('^[> ]*>[^> ]','w') > 0
s/^\([> ]*>\)\([^> ]\)/\1 \2/
endwhile
" now, compress the wockas
while search('^>>*\s\+>>*\%( [^>]\)*', 'w') > 0
s/^\(>>*\)\s\+\(>>*\%( [^>]\)*\)/\1\2/
endwhile
" restore the original location, such as it is
execute l . " normal " . c . "|"
endfunction
You could, if you wanted, make that function trigger on BufRead, like
so:
autocmd BufRead */tmp/mutt-* call Fixflowed()
