p tags and indenting in Html Mode

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

Html mode recognizes that <p> tags don't need to be closed, so 
successive tags get indented to the same level. But when an unclosed <p> 
tag is followed by a heading (e.g., <h3>), the heading gets indented as 
if it were within the previous <p>, as do all subsequent tags that 
aren't <p> tags. In other words, the heading is indented further than 
the <p> tags that were there before. How can I get html mode to keep the 
indentation at the same level? I put a small example below to clarify.

I've tried google and the mail archives, but searching on html mode, p 
tags, indenting etc. gave me lots of apparently unrelated info. Thanks 
for your help!

get my work machine switched over to Debian I'm stuck with this)
