if you don't want any kind of indenting, and your user only uses Vim for data, he might prefer to use nano or pico.

I suffered the above problem for a long time, I am a coder so i need my indenting. I would open "nano" , paste a code sample in, then open the file in Vim. Recently, i found the tip above in vim.org (set paste).
