It isn't just ">" that behaves this way in `fundamental-mode' and older versions of org-mode; there are a number of such characters. From a quick test, in Emacs 24.2, #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE -- foo -- bar #+END_EXAMPLE becomes #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE -- foo bar #+END_EXAMPLE whereas in the current org-mode, it is #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE -- foo -- bar #+END_EXAMPLE Same with #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE ! foo ! bar #+END_EXAMPLE and #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE % foo % bar #+END_EXAMPLE The following also fill to a single line: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE % % foo % % bar ! ! foo ! ! bar #+END_EXAMPLE >From a brief look at `fill-paragraph', the relevant code is in `fill-comment-paragraph'.

Fundamental mode will fill #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE - foo - bar #+END_EXAMPLE into a single line, but org-mode never did. I'm not asking for new behavior, simply the `fill-paragraph' style of org 7.8.11 back. > Therefore, I don't consider it to be a regression since it's not an > expected feature in the first place.

Well, my patch from 2010 /was/ applied [1], so I would consider it an expected feature :) > Maybe we can introduce some support for `adaptive-fill-regexp' in > paragraphs and comments filling.
