[Vimoutliner] Correct objects behavior

Hello:

I played around with VimOutliner 0.3.4 on Vim 7. However, as I wrote in
an earlier posting, I do not manage to deal with the text body parts,
which show leading ":".

In ":help outline" I found what I have been looking for:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lines starting with a colon and space word-wrap
     Lines starting with colons are body text. They should
     word wrap and should be a special color (typically
     green, but it can vary). Verify that paragraphs of body
     text can be reformatted with the Vim gq commands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I understand this correctly, line wrapping should be on, but there
also should be a leading ":" at the next line automatically inserted.
Additionally, reformatting using gq should not mess up the leading ":".
Right?

Both do not work for me: After a line break, there is no leading ":"
inserted. Also, gq reformats also colons as if their would be normal
text, which may make them appear anywhere, but not necessarily at the
lines' leading position.

Am I the only one with this behavior?

Another question: When writing a heading line in VimOutliner, the line
breaks automatically and starts a second line at the same level. Is this
intended?

Thanks!
Claus
