Thanks for this, but I didn't want to change the entire mode, as the behavior above by fill-paragraph happens also when I'm using html-helper-mode, what I use for editing/creating html. It may well happen in other modes also, e.g., perl-mode, c-mode... not sure, because I haven't tried a lot of other modes at work yet. In brief, I just want to change the behavior of fill-paragraph back to what it was previously for all modes. If paragraph-indent-minor-mode will do this, what would I need to put in ~/.emacs to invoke it for any file I might open and not have "paragraph-indent-minor-mode" show up in the mode line? (My mode line already is already occupied with all it can accomodate.)
