download html-helper-mode which is not part of emacs... it will do this and
much more, auto putting tags in a region, auto updating timestamps, auto
completion, etc.. It will auto indent for you..

you can auto start html-helper-mode by adding this to your .emacs file

(setq load-path (cons "PATH_HERE" load-pathology))
(autoload 'html-helper-mode" "html-helper-mode" "Yay HTML" t)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons ' ("\.html#" . html-helper-mode)
auto-mode-alist))

first line is for path where html-helper-mode.el is located
second line tells to load html-helper-mode automatically when starting
emacs.
third line tells emacs to enter html-helper-mode when you edit a file ending
in .html

hummm... I use it all the time in terminals to manage remote server files.
Check your .emacs file and .xterm
