There are two versions of mail_mode: one by Thomas Roessler and
muttmail.sl (to be found on JMR I believe) worked by Abraham vd Merwe.
The latter is probably better, but the keybindings are not right - I'm
using Emacs emulation, so I expect M-q to format the paragraph, instead
it quotes. Hitting C-c gives some help, but it's misleading: it says
"press ^f for reformatting" but it's on r.

public define autowrap()
{
   call("format_paragraph");
   insert_char(' ');
}

local_setkey("autowrap", " ");

I just wrote this, I doubt if it's useful. Text justification is there,
just hit C-u M-q in Emacs emulation. Or you can pipe it through par.

I managed to use Fransesco's rjed with Mutt by using a shell script that
reads a named pipe. Unfortunately rmail's patch for JED is relative to
JED 99-15. But I think I could get rjeddish behavior without any patch
by running a subprocess that reads another named pipe.
