you can default to a specific mailbox with:
mutt -f mailbox

you can have mutt open the first mailbox in 'mailboxes' that has new
mail with:
mutt -Z

so you could alias mutt to "mutt -Z" in your shell configuration file.

these two command line options are listed right at the top of the
proverbial 'FM'

the easiest way i know of is typing:
gqip
which will reformat the current paragraph.

gqap reformats all paragraphs i think.  quoting and stuff will be
preserved as long as '>' is set in 'comments' in your .vimrc or in the
systemwide vimrc (this is the default)

i miss the normal way of doing things sometimes, but usually gqip is
more flexible and useful. it's very useful for reformatting other
peoples' paragraphs correctly and at the same width as your own text.
