First off, make sure you're in mail mode. That'll let vim know what
format to expect.
gq> will to go the end of the current paragraph which is defined by a
clean line. So in a message that is just quoted it will reformat until the
end of the quotes. Deleting the quote on black lines will get the desired
result.

Not sure on that one. Though you could paste, select with V and then

Mail mode with syntax highlighting turned on and vimspell are all that I
need. My needs seem to vary as I rarely, if ever, paste quoted material into
the body of the message or paste material that needs to be indented.
