I use gq} (well, ^T mapped to it), which formats from the cursor to
end of paragraph. It's useful because sometimes I want to leave
previous lines in a paragraph alone.
It should be noted that vim's internal reformatting is smart enough
to, for instance, reflow >'s in emails, so you can reformat quoted
text without mangling it (which capability fmt lacks). For instance,
I can :set tw=55 and then ^T the following:
