The problem is also that this is another weird vim-ism.

Try using "par q" to reformat your lines.  You can set up a macro for
this.  I've used
        map v mz{j0!}par 72gh^M'z
(^M is really control-m.)

Par is available from
        http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~amc/Par/

if you don't already have it.  It's like "fmt", but holy cow.
