Or, I could just "set tw=0" for vim, and enable format:flowed in my ~/.muttrc. That would probably be the easiest route.
It's unclear from your message whether or not you realize this, but setting f=f in your muttrc doesn't actually do diddly-squat to the actual formatting of your message. It just sets a header to let recipients know that the message body is expected to be f=f. I think it also does another step (space stuffing), but it does NOT add the proper trailing spaces to paragraphs which should be wrapped. That needs to occur in the editor or in a wrapping script.
I hope I have the above correct.For what it's worth, I have no problems with my format=flowed email in any of the mail clients I've used, including on my iPhone - it wraps it just like it should even though it displays only something like 55 characters per line. I haven't tried any ancient mail clients, but I would suspect they'd be ok with mail that is hard wrapped at 72 characters anyway.
