emacs lisp mode, mailing list?

[Andy Peterson]

Mark,

from key help: c-h k  c-m-j:

C-M-j runs the command indent-new-comment-line (found in global-map),
> which is an alias for ‘comment-indent-new-line’ in ‘newcomment.el’.
>
> It is bound to C-M-j, M-j.
>
> (indent-new-comment-line &optional SOFT)
>
> Break line at point and indent, continuing comment if within one.
> This indents the body of the continued comment
> under the previous comment line.
>
> This command is intended for styles where you write a comment per line,
> starting a new comment (and terminating it if necessary) on each line.
> If you want to continue one comment across several lines, use M-x
> newline-and-indent.
>
> If a fill column is specified, it overrides the use of the comment column
> or comment indentation.
>
> The inserted newline is marked hard if variable ‘use-hard-newlines’ is
> true,
> unless optional argument SOFT is non-nil.
