I have written a plugin that does exactly that for mails. It's still
not perfect (I have a few bugs to tweak), but as you can see with this
mail it works. It's called yaposting, it's on my github and on
vimscript:

* http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=957
* https://github.com/guyzmo/vim-yaposting/

Basically, you write your paragraph without caring about the
indentation, and when you finish that paragraph, you just have to
execute <Leader>mr. When you want to use a '«' or a ':', you just need
to use a non-secable space ' ' before/after the character, so you don't
take any chance displaying it wrongly.

It supports having an alinea at the begining of your paragraphs (you
can set up how many spaces you want), setting a left/right margin,
and even reformat quoted text. You can also tell it to justify your
text, left align or right align your text.

Sadly, there are two bugs I have to take care of (that is getting
dust in my TODO list :-s):

* <Leader>mr does not work as it should, but vip<Leader>mr does.
* if you don't add a space at the end of the previous line or a
space at the begining of the current line, last word of previous
line and first word of current line gets joined.

BTW, I also wrote a python library that takes care of all
formatting, that supports perfectly unicode text!
