Hi Jim,

such a feature exists only to suppress paragraph indentation but not to 
ignore whitespace
between paragraphs.

\setupitemize[indentnext=auto]

\setupindenting[yes,medium]

\starttext

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur massa 
turpis,
semper quis fringilla ut, viverra nec risus. Pellentesque habitant morbi 
\unknown

\startitemize
\startitem Lorem ipsum \unknown \stopitem
\stopitemize

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur massa 
turpis,
semper quis fringilla ut, viverra nec risus. Pellentesque habitant morbi 
\unknown

\startitemize
\startitem Lorem ipsum \unknown \stopitem
\stopitemize
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur massa 
turpis,
semper quis fringilla ut, viverra nec risus. Pellentesque habitant morbi 
\unknown

\stoptext
