I frequently get email from people who do not use format-flowed email properly. I prefer to send out "correct" email, including the stuff I'm quoting, and Vim helps me do that. I added this function to my vimrc, and now I use it when editing mail by simply typing:
- Fixq
Here's the function:
function! Fixflowed()
" save cursor position
let pos = getpos(".")
" add spaces to the end of every line
silent! %s/\([^]> :]\)\ze\n>[> ]*[^> ]/\1 /g
" remove extraneous spaces
silent! %s/ \+\ze\n[> ]*$//
" make sure there's only ONE space at the end of each line
silent! %s/ \{2,}$/ /
" fix the wockas spacing from the text
silent! %s/^[> ]*>\ze[^> ]/& /
" compress the wockas
while search('^>\+ >', 'w') > 0
s/^>\+\zs >/>/
endwhile
" restore the original cursor location
call setpos('.',pos)
endfunction
It's a little sensitive because it CAN blow away ascii art (it tries not to), and it also doesn't automatically reflow paragraphs (I have no idea how to do that properly).
I also have another function that helps when inserting indented paragraphs into a format=flowed email; the idea is to remove spaces at the end of indented lines so that they won't be wrapped (quoting is not indenting):
function! Fixindented() " remove spaces at end of indented lines silent! %s/^\s.*\zs \+$// endfunction
I set these functions up like this:
autocmd Filetype mail command! Fixq call Fixflowed() autocmd Filetype mail autocmd BufWritePre <buffer> call Fixindented()
Hope it helps someone.

PAR is a lot better at this kind of thing: http://www.nicemice.net/par/
PAR is a useful tool, but is not specific to format=flowed, and so can be over-zealous in some cases. For example, it doesn't recognized the -- separator between email body and signature, and wraps it into the signature.
