I use
        set editor="vi +'/: *$'"

to that I begin editing on the first empty header.  Generally, this is
To:, since I don't prompt for addresses before opening the editor.

If you wish to try that, it shouldn't matter that I use vi and you use
something that thinks it's vi. :)  The same argument string should work
fine in either, in this case.

Can you just put
        set tw=72 et

in your .exrc or .vimrc?  That seems more probably appropriate to me,
though it might not be, depending on your reasons.
