Seems that XEmacs and Emacs do indeed have a difference in the
fill-paragraph command.  It isn't specific to a bulleted list as
such, it's just that in Emacs the indent on the second line of
*any* paragraph will be retained for the rest of the paragraph,
but not with XEmacs, which will indent according to the first
line.  I didn't look into it farther than that, and don't know
but what XEmacs might have a simple way to change that behavior.

I can see where that might occasionally cause a problem, but
overall it looks nice to me!
