How to treat bullet points as whitespace characters in vim?

When using the auto-format option with

set formatoptions=taw

in vim, paragraphs starting with a bullet character will be formated like this:

• This is an
item of a list.

How can I tell vim to treat the '•' in the beginning of the line as a whitespace character to get

• This is an
  item of a list.

?
