This is strange but for some reason when I set my wrapmargin in my
..vimrc to 80 it ends up wrapping at like 5 cols. This makes no sense to
me at all and was wondering if anybody had some ideas for this? I use a
seperate .vimrc file for mutt and vim is called from mutt with the -u
option to load the custom rc file but why would marginwrap=80 not wrap
at 80?

wrapmargin AFAIK counts from the right, that is you get column 80-80=0 :-)

I'm not that expert in vimrc's, but this is my entry in ~/.muttrc:

set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72 et'"

No aditional vimrc needed, wraps the lines correct, so maybe you are
looking for a solution like this.

This is why I use [set textwidth=80] and not wrapmargin.
Start from inside Vim

:help textwidth

and/or

:help wrap
:help wrapmargin
:help formatoptions
