Trying to edit headers with fo+=aw is a real pain.  I developed a 
solution when I was using vim 6.4 that works well enough, but it's a 
hack and I'm sure something better could be done now with some of 
the functions and autocommands added to vim 7.0.  For mail files, I 
have syntax highlighting turned on and a CursorHold autocommand that 
determines the syntax highlighting group that the cursor is in.  
Basically, if the group is mailHeader, mailEmail, mailSubject or 
mailSignature, 'a' and 'w' are removed from 'fo'; otherwise they are 
both added.
