You must have autoindent and/or smartindent turned on. You can turn
this off with :noai or :nosi (in command mode).
If you are really lazy or want to ensure "pure" whitespace and other
character translation, do it like this... :r!cat (return)
Then do your paste and end it with a ctrl-D to have the result
included into your text.
