I setup mutt to use the editor:

set editor='vim '+/$' -c "set tw=72"'

This way I wrap at 72 for email, but not for general editing in vim.

In my vimrc:

" Formatting the current paragraph according to
" the current 'textwidth' with ^J (control-j):
  imap <C-J> <C-O>gqap
  nmap <C-J>      gqap
  vmap <C-J>      gq

Then I just user ^J to reformat.

I'm pretty sure both tips I picked up from SLUG, so it's nice to see 'em
returned :)
