Uhh, I *do*. "gqap", actually (iirr). (Learned that trick here, in fact.) That's what I mean by "manually", vs letting the mailer itself autowrap. Thing is, if I don't know what's the default max-width of v.o's messages, being "over" by just 1 char will still do the long/short/long/short/... rewraps. Point being that it's not on this end where the rewrap gets done, but somewhere on the 'vim.org' side, either translating incoming email to whatever margins, etc., it prefers, else reformatting it somewhat when sending it back out to the list. I've had private/offline correspondence with quite many people on this list, have seen my own replies echoed back, and have yet to see this wrapping issue apply to any off-list items. Given that I'm stuck with LookOut here, I have to c&p (^A^X from LO) to 'vim' (shift-<ins>), then :g/^> /s//> :g/^./s//>& gqap (per paragraph, iirr) then c&p it back to LO's "draft" before sending. Crude, but more or less effective.
It may be a little bit on the expensive side, but it might be worth your while if you use Outlook at work to check out ViEmu [1]. The guy has it for Outlook, Word, Visual Studio (all flavors as far as I know), and some more. The Word and Outlook on come together, so it's really not that bad of a deal if you use both.
