Well, try as I might, I couldn't get this one to misindent 😃 And a good
thing too, I was about to run out of synonyms for wrinkles/nits/snags
and the like 😉


If anyone is wondering what these exchanges are all about: with
Bastien's latest patch[1], setting org-adapt-indentation to
'headline-data results in the following behaviour, *whether
electric-indent-mode is enabled or not*:

- "* heading RET" starts an unindented line (point goes to column 0).
- The drawers inserted by org-set-property and org-clock-in are
  indented.

So, to bring the discussion back to the poll:

- If nil or 'headline-data becomes the default value, RET will no longer
  indent regular text after a headline (even with electric-indent-mode).
- The difference will be whether :DRAWERS: are indented or not.

As far as I am concerned, my preference has become:

(1) 'headline-data (indented drawers)
(2) nil (nothing indented)
(3) t (the status quo)

although I suppose an argument could be made that 'headline-data might
be a bit "young" and as such, should not be used as default value…

Let's see what the poll yields 🙂
