I use a little function of my own design:

autocmd FileType mail command! Fixq call Fixflowed()

function! Fixflowed()
        " save position
        let l = line(".")
        let c = col(".")
        normal G$
        " whiles are used to avoid nasty error messages
        " add spaces to the end of every line
        while search('[^]> :]\n> \?\%(> \?\)*[^> ]','w') > 0
                s/\([^]> :]\)\n\(> \?\%(> \?\)*[^> ]\)/\1 \r\2/g
        endwhile
        " make sure there's only one space at the end of every line
        while search('^.\{-}\s\{2,}$','w') > 0
                s/^\(.\{-}\)\s\{2,}$/\1 /g
        endwhile
        " now, fix the wockas spacing from the text
        while search('^[> ]*>[^> ]','w') > 0
                s/^\([> ]*>\)\([^> ]\)/\1 \2/
        endwhile
        " now, compress the wockas
        while search('^>>*\s\+>>*\%( [^>]\)*', 'w') > 0
                s/^\(>>*\)\s\+\(>>*\%( [^>]\)*\)/\1\2/
        endwhile
        " restore the original location, such as it is
        execute l . " normal " . c . "|"
endfunction

You could, if you wanted, make that function trigger on BufRead, like 
so:

     autocmd BufRead */tmp/mutt-* call Fixflowed()
