Just picking a random point here...

Well, vim does whatever you've configured it to do, it's not a part of
mutt   :)

Thus, either vim was doing the same bad formatting using it under pine
(and I remember it being an IMMENSE pain to use an external editor in
pine), or you were just using *twitch*shudder* pico, in which case you
could *twitch*shudder* use pico for your editor in mutt just as easily.


When I made the pine->mutt switch, back around 0.6 days, I was lucky in
having a friend who used mutt, who thinks in ways vaguely like the ways I
do, so I just snarfed his .muttrc and went with it.  I still have
pine-remnants in my config (my change-folder is still bound to
'l', for instance, but that works out to be more efficient anyway.
Composing a new message is bound to 'c', and that is probably LESS
efficient, but that point's more arguable).
