emacs lisp mode, mailing list?

[Mark Cox]

G'day Mark,

I don't know the command you are after but paredit provides the command
paredit-reindent-defun which is bound to M-q when in paredit mode.

You can invoke this command once your comment becomes too long to fit on
one line. For example:

(defun example ()
  ;; This is a really long comment designed to show how the function
paredit-reindent-defun works.*
  (print "hello world"))

(defun example ()
  ;; This is a really long comment designed to show how the function
  ;; paredit-reindent-defun works.*
  (print "hello world"))
