I just tested it on my system with the following setup:

 $ cat tmp.vim
 source /etc/vim/vimrc
 filetype plugin indent on
 $ touch reportbug.foo
 $ vim -u tmp.vim -N reportbug.foo
 :echo &tw

'textwidth' is properly set to 72, so it looks like something else is changing
your 'textwidth' setting or you do not have filetype plugins enabled.  Make
sure ":filetype" reports at least "filetype detection:ON plugin:ON".  Also
verify that /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/mail.vim shows up in the output of
":scriptnames" and you can see what last set 'textwidth' by running
":verbose set tw?".

Hope this helps narrow down the issue.
