[h-e-w] Re: autofill-mode in comments

[Toby Ferguson]

Well, one out of two ain't bad ... filladapt did solve the initial problem, but 
I'm still left with the problem that when my comment begins at the start of the 
line then the comment stays at the beginning of the
line even if I attempt to intent using c-indent-command.

I read through bits of the cc-mode stuff but got rather confused with the 
number of options - is there a simple setting whereby comments within a class 
that start at the beginning of a line are indented to the
same depth as the method and variable comment strings?
