Ah, I see (just add some additional !!! before the first line in
*scratch* and see that the exclamation marks in the wrapped lines have
comment face (but they should be black) in Emacs 23).

Taking your hint, I have tried the following `adaptive-fill-function`

(setq adaptive-fill-function
  (lambda ()
    (and adaptive-fill-prefix
         (looking-at adaptive-fill-prefix)
         (match-string 0))))

This is exactly what `fill-adaptive-match-prefix' does except the latter
uses `match-string-no-properties`.

This seems to work fine for the color of the prefix but not for its font
(when using variable-pitch-mode). So a second try was


(setq adaptive-fill-function
  (lambda ()
    (and adaptive-fill-prefix
         (looking-at adaptive-fill-prefix)
         (propertize (match-string-no-properties 0) 'face 'default))))

Now the wrap-prefix has the correct font but the wrong color (but this
variant seems to work reasonably well for LaTeX and variable-pitch).

I think, the wrap-prefix should at least have the default face (which
may be modified by variable-pitch-mode) in any case. I'm not sure about
the other properties like color, but may adaptive-wrap-mode should
(optionally?) use something like the adaptive-fill-function above to
assign the wrap-prefix the same face as the original prefix (in contrast
to the one that happened to be active where the line got truncated).

Though, I have no idea what to about the color vs. font problem (how to
get both?).


Many thanks for your comments, they already helped me a lot :)

Frank
