When you remove "c" from 'formatoptions' Vim doesn't recognize comments, thus everything is formatted as normal text. I don't think there currently is a value for 'formatoptions' to only format text that isn't comments. Mostly because comments is text that you normally want to format. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 74.
