>From the vim manpage:

       -c {command}
                   {command} will be  executed  after  the  first
                   file  has been read.  {command} is interpreted
                   as an Ex command.  If the  {command}  contains
                   spaces  it  must  be enclosed in double quotes
                   (this depends on  the  shell  that  is  used).
                   Example: Vim "+set si" main.c
                   Note:  You  can  use up to 10 "+" or "-c" com-
                   mands.

According to the note, it would be OK to do something like:

        set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et' -c ':0;/^$'

G'luck,
Peter
