Pipe it through fmt with the appropriate option.  Here's the lines from
my .vimrc:

" E-mail quoted text paragraph wrapping
map _k j{!}fmt -p"> "<cr>}

Has anyone gotten the Perl Text::AutoFormat module to actually work?  At
one point, someone (Paul H. I think) recommended it as the best filter,
but I built it and for the life of me cannot get it to do anything.
