:set paste actually does more than just turning off auto-indent. It
turns off all code-formatting options; from the online help in my
version of vim (7.1):

        When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on):
                - mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled
                - abbreviations are disabled
                - 'textwidth' is set to 0
                - 'wrapmargin' is set to 0
                - 'autoindent' is reset
                - 'smartindent' is reset
                - 'softtabstop' is set to 0
                - 'revins' is reset
                - 'ruler' is reset
                - 'showmatch' is reset
                - 'formatoptions' is used like it is empty
        These options keep their value, but their effect is disabled:
                - 'lisp'
                - 'indentexpr'
                - 'cindent'
