Conceptual difference of opinion/bug:

Filling causes a loss of a space after colons, which I want 2 spaces
after (since, it is my understanding that colons are supposed to have
2 spaces after them).  In text mode, emacs should leave 2 spaces after
colons if the user puts them, and one if the user used only 1 (there
are times when making enumerations/lists or other such things that you
want only one space--should be the user's option).

Likewise for mail mode.
