For what it's worth, I have the following in my mutt-vimrc file:

imap <leader>ff <esc>:/^-- $/+1,$d<cr><esc>:r !fortune -e<cr><c-o>
nmap <leader>ff :/^-- $/+1,$d<cr><esc>:r !fortune -e<cr><c-o>

imap <leader>dd <esc>:,/^-- $/-2d<cr>i
nmap <leader>dd :,/^-- $/-2d<cr>i

The first changes the fortune cookie if I'm not happy with it and leaves
the cursor in place, the second removes everything from the cursor to the
signature (old top-posters leftovers, etc.), and leaves the editor in
insert mode (optional, but that's the way I like it).
