vim can handle this. Invoke "set autoindent" in command mode or
place it in ~/.vimrc, then use the "gq" set of commands to
reformat your lines or paragraphs -- try "help gq" in command
mode for more info.

I used to get my address book entries off an LDAP directory by
adding the following line in my ~/.muttrc:
set query_command = "mutt_ldap_query.pl '%s'"
The mutt_ldap_query.pl script should be available from the
contrib/ directory of any mutt mirror site. I'm sure you can
hack the code to access a PostgreSQL database instead...
