mutt and console MUA's usually use an external editor, $VISUAL, usually vi(1). The text will just continue to the width of you terminal and then wrap the line on to the next row. Vim, can automatically be set to wrap lines i believe, i don't use it though, I just use the base vi(1) and then fmt(1) to format the text. Same for mail(1) if use the command to write in an external editor. So, the answer is no - the mutt and console MUA's don't do text formatting; the editor does.
