I'm a vim user, so if you also are I can assist in vim modes to aid
format=flowed composition. I highly recommend it!
I'm interested; perhaps there are others. If you get multiple
responses, could you reply to the list? (Or a link, if the information
is available somewhere).
There was a long thread back in September 2015 about this.
For me the core items are the mutt settings "text_flowed=yes" and the
vim setting "set formatoptions=waqj".
In more detail:
mutt settings: text_flowed=yes, reflow_text=yes, reflow_wrap=-4
I set "editor=vim-flowed" when composing/replying to mail. It is
normally just vim, as vim-flowed is hyper annoying if you're not
editing email; so it is just vim (well, $EDITOR) even in my mutt
settings - only the mail editing phase gets vim-flowed.
and vim-flowed is here:
https://bitbucket.org/cameron_simpson/css/src/tip/bin/vim-flowed
It trims trailing spaces from the headers (I use "edit_headers=yes")
and invokes vim with "set formatoptions=waqj".
Why not put these settings in `ftplugin/mail.vim` or in a `autocmd
FileType mail [..]`?
Anyway, these are my mail.vim settings:

I do a bit more mangling than you.
