From ":help fo-table":
l       Long lines are not broken in insert mode: When a line was longer
than 'textwidth' when the insert command started, Vim does not
automatically format it.

I'm guessing that you have no problems with auto-wrapping when you open
other files?  Just type "vim" into your shell and start hammering a
sentence; it should wrap just fine.

So, we need to figure out why you're getting that "l" there.  First
thing is to check your .vimrc.  If you don't see anything there, look in
your mail syntax file; mine is located at
/usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax/mail.vim, but yours may be elsewhere,
depending on your distro.  You can check which syntax file is in use
with ":set filetype".

I do not believe so.  I assume that you are using some sort of "group by
conversation/thread" mode?  If that is the case, you will be seeing your
sent message, and then the one that the mailing list sends out to
_everyone_, including yourself.  Well, assuming that this list is
configured the same as vger.  :\
