Lines of lists should be shown with indentation in "Edit" mode, e.g. not 
like this:

- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
  - The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
  - The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

but better as follows:

- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
  quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
  - The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
    The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
  - The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
    quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
  quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

(I hope it's still visible in the mail).

Reason:
Big advantage of RedNotebook is, that even in "Edit" mode there is some 
formatting (e.g. bold, underline, tags in red), which makes editing much 
more user friendly than e.g. wiki pages :). But lists are hard to read 
and very confusing, because the wrapped lines, and the lines after 
manual line breaks, are not  indented according to the level of the 
list. A simple indentation with adding something like "virtual spaces" 
would be perfect for "Edit" mode, so I suppose and hope that support for 
this may not be much work. I'm almost always in "Edit" mode, because 
most of the time I need to change something, so for users like me such a 
feature is even more important than for general users.

PS.: I'm new in the mailing list, so excuse me if something formal is 
not OK - I use Thunderbird (not Outlook) for mailing lists, and hope 
that the format is OK.
