Unfortunately, even with these options, this is an area that vim seems to fall

Maybe patch #9 on the Vim Patches page (Correctly indent wrapped lines) would
do what you're looking for?

No idea of its current status.
Thanks, Benjamin. That's available only if you compile Vim yourself. Might be
something to consider after I've gotten minimally comfortable with Vim.

Compiling Vim is not really hard, and I've written a couple of how-to
pages about it; but by all means get comfortable with Vim as an editor
first, and then later on (especially if you aren't on Windows, because
on Windows there are excellent distributions published pre-compiled and
regularly updated by the Cream project) you'll know better if it's worth
your while to grab the latest of the greatest (both bug fixes and new
enhancements) by compiling Vim yourself before (sometimes long before)
your software wholesaler comes around to it.
Best regards,
Tony.
