Hi, vim compatriots!

I've been using vim for seven years or so, but only recently have I 
started really trying to get intimately familiar with it. I have a 
couple of problems I've been having.

I mostly work with python, where whitespace counts. As such, for a long 
time, I had it set to display leading tabs with >--- , because I didn't 
want to accidentally use expandtab when I was editing a file that was 
mostly filled with tabs.

However, I also really wanted line wrapping to happen on word 
boundaries. After some frustration, I discovered my mistake; linebreak 
doesn't work when list is set. Is there a technical reason for this?

Another thing I would really love is if vim would preserve the indent 
of the prior line when wrapping; I can't find any way to accomplish 
this using settings- am I missing something?
