Hi Sam,

I've seen that symptom before, a long time ago, but can't remember the root 
cause.

First -- does the filename end with .otl? If not, you need to take special 
steps.

Does the symptom change when you do :e!   ? If so, figure out what files.

I just looked stuff up. Body text coloration is controlled 
by .vim/syntax/vo_base.vim, but actual body text wrapping and stuff is done 
by .vim/ftplugin/vo_base.vim. .vim/ftdetect/vo_base.vim has no reference to 
body text.

I'd therefore hypothesize that your problem is in .vim/ftplugin/vo_base.vim, 
although of course the root cause could be somewhere else and just 
causing .vim/ftplugin/vo_base.vim to fail.

If I had this problem, I'd probably do step 5 of the Universal Troubleshooting 
Process: Perform Corrective Maintenance, and simply reinstall VO from 
scratch. If that fixes it so be it, if not at least you know it's nothing you 
did.

If you absolutely must know the root cause of the problem, skip corrective 
maintenance and simply start debugging .vim/ftplugin/vo_base.vim.

HTH
