That's not what he meant by "automatic" - what he meant was that vim
should know that the filetype (ft) is "mail" without you having to
specify it.
BUT, if it helps, you *can* have vim automatically keep your lines to
within 72 characters as you type. Add "a" to your fo, like so:
set editor="vim -c 'set fo=tcrqa ft=mail ff=unix tw=74'"
