In other words, changing my tab stops was the right solution. I've
read the tabs vs. spaces article. I always expand my tabs to
spaces. The intuitive response to hitting the tab key in text mode
though, is that it go to the next tab stop. Apparently I can get that
with M-i if I really need it, but I'm just surprised that isn't the
default behaviour.
