Another way to work with 'lists'

Another way to work with 'lists'

[Cecil Westerhof]

Sometimes I work with a list of points like: - A long line of text 
to show what I mean. I like to have it
      formatted in a certain way. How can this be done?

When my list is 'free' it is formatted this way:  - Just some text 
to show what I mean. Just continue until the text gets formatted. 
But when it is not free, it is formatted like this: - Just some 
text to show what I mean. Just continue until the text gets 
formatted.   Why is this and could the second case become the 
first case?   Multiple lines that start free work like I want 
them:  - Just some text to show what I mean. Just continue until 
the text gets formatted.  - Just some text to show what I mean. 
Just continue until the text gets formatted  This is when writing 
a message in Gnus. When working in text mode it goes like (free 
and non-free): - Just some text to show what I mean. Just continue 
until the text gets formatted.

Here I would also prefer the free message mode way. Any hints?

I don't understand what you mean.  Perhaps your formating is garbled?
Notably, I don't see a difference in formating of your "free" list,
vs. your "non free" list.
