It seems that from AUCTeX ml no help could come about that issue, so I'm coming
back to the present list in the hope that some elisp expert can suggest a
proper code in order to achieve what I want.

I resume the problem: I want a certain paragraph to be indented and filled,
like this:

\item{1)} The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about
          the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom
          or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy; they were
          her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style,"
          not service -- she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just

.  I get this easily in text mode with `C-u 10 C-x TAB' and then `M-q'.
Instead, in LaTeX mode, `M-q' does not fill the region.  I don't know why it
works fine in text mode but not in LaTeX mode.

Can anyone suggest a proper code to make those above commands work _also_ under
LaTeX mode?

The issue looks important to me because, just in LaTeX, mode, you can often use
such \item environments.

Thanks for any help
