Of course you can manually save messages into another mailbox with mutt.

Next time you edit a mail message, do :set filetype and it should say "filetype=mail" on the status line. If not, let's figure out why. Now, edit (create) ~/.vim/ftplugin/mail.vim and add the lines: set noai set nosi set nocindent If you still have indentation problems let us know what version of vim you're using. See $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/mail.vim to see what the default actions for mail are.
