I leave it enabled. It could certainly use some improvement...sometimes it seems to get lost, especially inside of <li> items, but I wouldn't go so far as saying I'd rather have NO automatic indenting. It does a reasonable job often enough I don't mind fixing it manually from time to time. I would prefer if I didn't need to fix it at all. I've toyed with the idea of using HTMLtidy as a formatprg/equalprg but it never bugged me enough to try setting it up.
