"Soft" indent with visual-line-mode? |

Hello Emacs Help,
I like the idea of using longlines-mode or visual-line-mode to spend
less time formatting code as I write. However, it is not useful to me
when the wrapped lines start in the first column and break up the flow
of the code.
As an example, this is what I get now with a line that is indented 4
spaces. This is all one line, wrapped by the editor for me:
This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a
test. In
the event of a real emergency, your head would have exploded.
And this is what I want:
This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a
test. In
the event of a real emergency, your head would have exploded.
I've heard this referred to as a "soft" indent. I believe that Visual
SlickEdit 9 and Kate both support this feature if you'd like other
examples.
Does anyone know of a feature or add-on for Emacs that can accomplish
this? I've scoured the 'Tubes and can't find anything.
Thanks for the help,
