OT: column 72 in mutt with xterm && vim



Hello,

This question is mutt related but perhaps a bit off-topic; but maybe
of interest of more mutt users ...

I'm using mutt and writing e-mails with a 'vim' in a xterm window;
the line length of this xterm window is pulled to more than 80
columns so other output fits better (for example of 'ls'); of course
I don't want to type behind column 72 when writing e-mail because
I'm old and understand how mail should be written (only ASCII and
only up to column 72; the 80 column punch cards have been my friends
and my first input media to computers in the 70's :-))

Well, is there some way to draw a magic vertical line in the xterm or
'vim' in column 72?

Thx in advance for any hints
