sorry carsten.  also I think I should have said "wraps" rather than
"indents".
Visual-line-mode is a replacement for longlines-mode; it soft-wraps text
at the screen boundary, and does a much better job than longlines-mode
did.  When I'm writing anything that's not code I rely on it entirely.
But I also *love* the new indent mode in org -- it's much easier for me
to see hierarchical relationships than it was in earlier versions
(thanks _very_ much for the new feature).  So I'd like to use them
together; but when org-indent-mode is turned on, visual-line-mode no
longer soft-wraps at all.  you can try it out with M-x visual-line-mode,
and the manual description is here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Visual-Line-Mode.html 

Is that what you needed?  I'm not sure where the code for
visual-line-mode lives -- there isn't a visual-line.el anywhere that i
can find on my system.  Thanks much,

matt
