Hello scott,
The 'filetype=' message is what happens when you use ':set filetype=' and don't
specify any filetype.
If you have 'cindent' turned on, Vim will add an indent after a line ending in
a comma (,) and your sample sentence does. Use ':set cindent?' to check if it
is turned on.
regards,
Peter
