No, the linux style is the first example I inserted in my mail. With
some spaces to align. Like this (or at least this is what I get)

int function(int var1,
------->.....double b,
------->.....double c)
{
------->for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
------->------->myprintf ("%d\n",
------->------->------->..i);
}

The indent-tabs-mode inserts "as many tabs as possible" and then aligns
with spaces.

bsd style defines 4 spaces after tabulator align for continuation lines,
not alineation with spaces.

According with Alan's mail the policy is not included and it needs a
workaround he sent in his email as an answer to a mail from 2008.
