If you "set mouse=a", then you can paste (using the middle mouse
button) in either insert or normal mode and then indentation of the
copied text will be preserved, just as though 'paste' had been set
before you pasted.
For those situations where you want the pasted text to be
inserted as though it came from the keyboard, as it does now, simply
hold the shift key down while you press the middle mouse button.
