unfill-paragraph(region) is different in GNU emacs and xemacs (was: unfill-paragraph (region) and indentation, )

It should not since the unfilling function should (also) act on the region.

Right, as I will describe below indeed the basic unfill functions behave
*differently*  in GNU emacs (I used Emacs 22.3) and Xemacs (21.4.22 Mule), so
I will also CC to xemacs beta, which seems to be the better place to
continue the discussion.

No it does not surprise, it is Xemacs filling function itself with
behaves different.

The following I did with 
emacs -q (GNU emacs 21.3)
and 
xemacs -vanilla (Xemacs 21.4.22 Mule)

In both cases I set the  fill-column to 10000000 and called.

GNU emacs (fill-paragraph)

Xemacs (fill-paragraph-or-region)

The example is (a buffer in fundamental mode)

A text which has indentation.

GNU emacs filled the line as expected Xemacs did not.

The behavior of both filling functions was identical if the text had no
indentation!

Could somebody from the Xemacs dev team comment on this?


thanks
