I set editor to a shell script which avoids putting tricky formatting in 
my muttrc, and since I use format=flowed email that script invokes my 
"vim-flowed" script which says:

    exec vim \
        -c 'silent 1,/^$/s/  *$//' \
        -c 'set filetype=mail' \
        -c 'set formatoptions=walqj' \
        ${1+"$@"}

My vim settings also include textwidth=72.

My muttrc has:

    set reflow_text=yes
    set reflow_wrap=-4
    set text_flowed=yes
