I do exactly this using 2 plugins:
Jnl (something I wrote for myself but never released formally)
Txtfmt (available on the Vim site)
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208

I discussed my usage of these plugins for the application you've
described in a fairly recent Vim thread entitled "Is Vim just for
programmers?"

Here's the Google groups link:
http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/browse_thread/thread/3b93aa1405c3ee16/926578d80caf45c9?lnk=gst&q=jnl+txtfmt#926578d80caf45c9

I'll try to take a screenshot of one of my journal files (I keep
several: e.g., understanding, professional, personal, ...), which
shows the folding, entry header highlighting, etc..., and make it
available online somewhere tonight so you can see if it looks like
what you had in mind. The main reason I've never released my Jnl
plugin is because I haven't had time to write the documentation, but
it's been very useful to me, and could be to others as well, so
perhaps I'll try to release it soon...

Sincerely,
Brett Stahlman
