Thanks Gary,

You're right. I confirmed it by making ~/.vim/after/indent/html.vim,
putting in indentexpr=, and running Vim again. I can toggle indentexpr
by commenting and uncommenting that line in
~/.vim/after/indent/html.vim, so you're for sure right.

But I don't understand how my ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/html.vim got
executed, yet didn't change indentexpr. Does Vim throw away certain
categories of changes depending on the directory? You told me the fix
for my problem, and I thank you profusely for that. Now I'd like to
understand the process Vim uses to set all this stuff.

Thanks,
