That looks strange. First, there really is no need for an exe call here,
second, when using exe "..." backslashes within quoted strings need to
be escaped. Third, the normal is superflous and fourth, the \<CR>
shouldn't really be there.

This is not in the official distributed runtime scripts that come
bundled with vim. Get in contact with the maintainer of that file. It
should be mentioned at the first couple of lines of
/usr/local/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/mail.vim

And possibly also file a bug report at FreeBSD.
