Don't use basic vi, then.  Use Vim or one of the other improved
versions.  My .vimrc has this line:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt,mutt\-*,.article* 
        \ set textwidth=72 formatoptions=tcq

Which sets a 72 character limit for files ending in .txt, mutt e-mails
and tin articles.

If the universe were simple enough to be understood, we would be too
simple to understand it.
