emacs lisp mode, mailing list?

[Sky Hester]

Hi Mark,

Mark is right; paredit-mode binds paredit-reindent-defun to M-q, which
calls either lisp-fill-paragraph (from lisp-mode.el) or indents the form,
depending on whether you're in a comment or string. The string part is nice
if you like docstrings with a fixed maximum width.
