ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$ grep formatoptions 
/usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/mail*
/usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/mail.vim:23:" Set 'formatoptions' to break text 
lines and keep the comment leader ">".
/usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/mailaliases.vim:15:setlocal comments=:# 
commentstring=#\ %s formatoptions-=t formatoptions+=croql
/usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/mailcap.vim:16:setlocal comments=:# 
commentstring=#\ %s formatoptions-=t formatoptions+=croql
ch...@stewie.xaerolimit.net:~$

Here are the three mail files from 
/usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/{mail.vim,mailaliases.vim,mailcap.vim}

line 15 in mailaliases.vim and line 16 in mailcap.vim are setting fo+=l, 
should I remove it from those files? Or move them locally? Incidentally,
I thought local files took presedence to global files? Or is this a 
case of the vim maintainer not doing things as expected and ignoreing 
.files?
