But your message doesn't flow in my mutt when I resize the terminal 
window!

I'm not so sure. I've just received a private mail from Anders 
Damsgaard (composed by mutt+vim), and his message flows nicely in 
GMail. (but not in mutt, again).

Anders' message is different from mine however: it is encoded in QP, 
and his paragraphs look like 

bla bla bla bla bla=20
bla bla bla bla bla=20
bla bla bla bla bla=20
bla bla bla bla bla=20
bla bla bla bla bla=20

instead of plain ascii spaces at line ends, like in my message.
