Hey Nicholas!

 NB> Once I noticed that 'gq' will not only wrap a long line, but will 
 NB> also automatically insert the quote character at the beginning of 
 NB> every line that was wrapped

I am sure that is what mutt does which is what I use for email.  I used to use
pine back in the Triassic, whose default editor was pico, which is the
grandfather to nano.  I believe it used the same strategy for quoting as vim. 
To be honest I prefer the fold/sed quoting seen above which it far more
fido-ish as well as bashist as any old hack in-the-know will verify I am sure.

 NB> +mouse_gpm

I would (and do) turn that off using the --disable-gpm to vim's configure. 
Same with in mc (mcedit).  That way cutting and pasting from other consoles is
vastly more usable.  vim doesn't need no stinkin' mouse.

 NB> Ooh, neat-o!

For sure.  For creating manpages or info files it is a godsend.  As a bonus it
works great for dumping information straight into a msg like thus;

 :read !trans -b -no-ansi -t ukrainian "Strong like bull, smart like
tractor."
Сильний, як бик, розумний, як трактор.

Gotta love it.

Life is good,
Maurice
