Woops, so you did...

User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i

...I missed that, sorry. As for line wrapping, if you're truly using `vi'
and not `vim' (poor guy), then in your .exrc you'd need to `set wrapmargin='
to some value...

    wm=<*>                  | wrapmargin - In append mode vi automatically
                            |   puts a <lf> whenever there is a <sp> or <ht>
                            |   within <wm> columns from the right margin
                            |   (0 = don't put a <lf> in the file, yet put it
                            |   on the screen).

Hopefully `vi' is actually brining up `vim', in which case in your .vimrc
you could `set textwidth=' to the number of characters you always want for a
line length. `vim' offers a host of formatting controls. See...

   Linkname: Vim online doc: usr_25.txt
        URL: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/vim2html2.pl?page=usr_25.txt#usr_25.txt

One handy tip with `vim' that parlays with `mutt' is to include this
autocommand in your .vimrc ...

au FileType mail set textwidth=76 formatoptions=t

There are plenty of other ways to skin that cat. I'll leave the RTFM and
Googling as an exercise for you :)

cheers,
Sandy
