In your ~/.vimrc put the following;

:autocmd FileType mail :set tw=80
"Formatting the current paragraph according to
""the current 'textwidth' with ^J (control-j):
imap <C-J> <C-O>gqap
nmap <C-J>      gqap
vmap <C-J>      gq
"kill quoted sigs
"au BufRead /tmp/mutt* normal :g/^> -- $/,/^$/-1d
"/^$
"^L

Then simply using control-j reformats to in this example 80 chars.

Works for me.
