formatting comments and indentation

[Luis A. Florit]

Pals,

    When formatting an email via 'gq', a quoted text like

>      bla bla bla...
> bla bla bla...
> bla bla bla...

is formatted by default as

>      bla bla bla...
>      bla bla bla...
>      bla bla bla...

This is because vim understands '> ...' as a comment.

    So, my question is: how (if there is a way) to use the
format option 'fo=2' (use the indentation of the second line)
when formatting comments? 

    Thanks,

        Luis.
