Sound llike you want format=flowed, of which there has been some
recent discussion. This message is so formatted. Examine it on your
iPhone etc.
Oh yes, in addition to my vim settings I use these mutt settings:
set reflow_text=yes
set reflow_wrap=-4
set text_flowed=yes
Also have a read of RFC3676 which covers this:

The essence of this format is that (a) you fold text lines somewhere
suitable for common fixed-width dumb paging of the text (i.e. <80
columns, typically 72 or so) so that non-format-flowed readers are
happy and (b) you mark all lines which are not the end of the
paragraph as reflowable by leaving a trailing space on the end
(flowed-aware readers can then reflow the paragraph to fit the display
- mutt and the iPhone both do this).
I set mutt's $editor variable to my "vim-flowed" script, which invokes
vim with useful settings, specificly "set formatoptions=waqj". See:
https://bitbucket.org/cameron_simpson/css/src/tip/bin/vim-flowed
You may want to use this directly or to integrate these with your
normal options for purposes of retaining your finger feel.
As a software developer I use vim every day without issue; here are
the relevant settings that may be causing my heartache:
" autocomment, set formatoptions
"
" t = autowrap to textwidth
" c = autowrap to textwidth, add comment leader
" r = auto-comment after <enter>
" o = auto-comment with 'o' or 'O'
" q = allow formating of comments with 'gq'
" l = don't format existing lines
" n = format numbered lists
" 2 = auto-indent based on second line of paragraph
" 1 = don't break lines after a one-letter word; break before
set formatoptions=tcroqln21
set textwidth=78
Thanks for these - I'll read them and see if they can improve my crude
vim environment.
