Thanks for your reply. I did get my patch working as I want... :^)

Anyone interested in my patch can review it here:

Subject: Patch: fo=q (comments) w/ n (num list) or 2 (2nd line) indent

http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/browse_thread/thread/72e109959b6794fc

If you click on "More options-->Show original", you can view the
message with a fixed space font, which I prefer...

Thanks!
