A while ago, I reported a bug in `fill-paragraph' when in org-mode which caused filling to behave incorrectly in the presence of leading characters. This comes up when filling paragraphs of email replies, such as
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE > Here is some text > to be filled to a single line #+END_EXAMPLE In the version of org-mode which comes with Emacs 24.3, running `fill-paragraph' on this yields #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE > Here is some text > to be filled to a single line #+END_EXAMPLE Whereas filling the same text in `text-mode' results in #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE > Here is some text to be filled to a single line #+END_EXAMPLE Notice the lack of the > symbol in the `text-mode' fill. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Emacs 24.3 2. Launch with "emacs -Q" 3. Create a buffer in `org-mode' 4. Type/yank in the example text from above 5. Press M-q for `fill-paragraph' I probably should have checked this before the release of 24.3. -- Daniel Hackney
