Disabling redundant asterisks in doxygen comments

Disabling redundant asterisks in doxygen comments

[mwnn]

Hi,
     Emacs adds asterisks for every new line in a doxygen comment as 
shown below:
/**
 *   @file vertical_histogram.c
 *
 *  @brief Program to print a graphical histogram that depicts the number
 *  of characters found in the input. The input is classified as
 *  1. Digits.
 *  2. Whitspaces.
 *  3. Others
 *
 *  Logic:
 *  1. The character inputted by the user is classified.
 *  2. The variable that holds the count for that group of characters
 *     is incremented.
 *  3. Stop taking input on EOF.
 *  4. Print the histogram.
 */

The way i would prefer it would be:
/**
    @file vertical_histogram.c
  
    @brief Program to print a graphical histogram that depicts the number
    of characters found in the input. The input is classified as
    1. Digits.
    2. Whitspaces.
    3. Others

    Logic:
    1. The character inputted by the user is classified.
    2. The variable that holds the count for that group of characters
        is incremented.
    3. Stop taking input on EOF.
    4. Print the histogram.
*/

.... with each new line indented by a tab.

What should i add to my .emacs file so that i can accomplish this?
