In my .vimrc I have the following mail-specific settings:
augroup Mail
au!
au FileType mail set tw=70 fo=tcrq2 nomodeline
au FileType mail set comments+=n:\|
" clear the old sig and go back to the beginning of the buffer
au BufRead /tmp/mutt* normal :g/^| -- $/,/^$/-1d
gg
augroup END
(note that between the 'd' and the 'gg' on the last line is a literal
carriage return)
(also note that the "| " at the start of the pattern is the same
as my $indent_string in mutt's configuration, if you use a different
$indent_string then adjust the pattern accordingly))
I'll skip over the other specific requests that have already been
answered.
| - indent pasted text
I suppose by this you want to paste a section of text, then have it
all indented as is often done when quoting an external source.
What I do here is ":set paste" so the pasted text is unaltered (with
auto indenting and such) and paste the text in. Then I select the
entire section in visual mode (press "v" to enter visual mode, then
move the cursor to the end of the section you want selected). Then
pressing ">" while the section is selected will indent it by one
$shiftwidth. (for options controlling the amount of indent, read the
help on "shiftwidth", "softtabstop" and "expandtab")
