Adding unnecessary newlines into a message is absurd. Actually one paragraph should be a single uninterruped line. Some idiot old emacs hackers will argue otherwise, (This is because the stupid emacs still doesn't have virtual word wraps) but that behaviour is not very editor friendly.

In vim, u can set the linebreak, so vim will automatically wrap long lines around the edge, and also recognize virtual lines, so u can trivially treat paragraph as a single line. Wrapping text around the edge is the job of the display system that is doing the final job, and not the work of the MUA.
