I think so, yes. Certainly, something like this is very common in Mutt configuration files:

    set editor="vim -c 'set tw=75 ft=mail noautoindent'"

The 'set tw=75' bit, sets the text width to 75 columns.

Not actually necessary these days. vim knows to match the names used for mutt temporary files, and automatically puts uses mail mode and a sensible text width.

IIRC tw=72 is set whenever you change the filetype to 'mail'
