Wrapcolumn only applies to mush itself, it can't be passed on to your
editor.  For vi, you need to modify your .exrc file to contain
something like

	set wrapmargin=7

which will break 7 spaces from the right margin.  Given mush's default
window sizes that should be roughly equivalent to wrapcolumn=70.  Vi
doesn't give you any way to break on N columns from the left.

} ques 2: Can I automatically invoke ispell before I send my message?

Not really, or at least, not in tool mode.  For line/curses modes, there
are several ways you could manage it, the easiest being to use the "map!"
command to create a "send this message" keystroke:

    map! '\CE' '\n~v ispell\n.\n'

This assumes you have used "set dot" so the final ".\n" will send the
message.  Then you have to get used to ending with ctrl-E instead of
ctrl-D.  Something like this is discussed in the MACROS section of
the manual.
