[Alpine-info] Auto-formatting question

[Ole Jacobsen]

In pine (4.63) I can compose a message and if the message has numbered 
paragrahps or bullet lists, they will be automatically indented and
formatted nicely if I hit ^J after navigating to each paragraph or 
bulleted (numbered) list item, like this:

1. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain until the winter when 
   it moves to higher elevation.

2. Bach lived from 1685 to 1750. At the age of 14, Bach, along with 
   his older school friend George Erdmann, was awarded a choral 
   scholarship to study at the prestigious St. Michael's School in 
   Lueneburg, not far from the northern seaport of Hamburg, one of the 
   largest cities in the Holy Roman Empire.[11] 

* In January 1703, shortly after graduating and failing an audition 
  for an organist's post at Sangerhausen,[13] Bach took up a post as a 
  court musician in the chapel of Duke Johann Ernst in Weimar, a large 
  town in Thuringia. His role there is unclear, but appears to have 
  included menial, non-musical duties.

* During his seven-month tenure at Weimar, his reputation as a keyboard
  player spread. He was invited to inspect and give the inaugural recital
  on the new organ at St. Boniface's Church in Arnstadt.[14]

... you get the idea. I can't find a setting for this in alpine, is it 
not supported?
