Please consider at some point changing the soft wrapping algorithm so it indents to the same level as the first (non-space/tab) character in the line. Anyone think this would be a *bad* idea (in which case perhaps it could be a preference)?
This is something I would really like as well.
Just to throw another idea (Allan will choose priorities) one thing I like very much in emacs is that it takes into account in text mode whether the first character's a list item marker. If it is, then indents the rest of the lines to match the first non-blank after the bullet (or something like that).
So you get this:
* This is an item in some todo list, with some description of the task and some guesses about possible implementations and timings.
Lists in text mode are nicely formatted this way.
