You probably want to look at filladapt.  This provides ways to fill lists of
various types.

Something like this you can also handle by setting the prefix string (^X .
is bound to set-fill-prefix)

C-x . runs `set-fill-prefix'

`set-fill-prefix' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "/usr/src/xemacs-21.4.19/.build/lisp/fill.elc"
(set-fill-prefix)

Documentation:
Set the fill prefix to the current line up to point.
Filling expects lines to start with the fill prefix and
reinserts the fill prefix in each resulting line.
