Though this is a great way to temporarily turn off
autoindent (thanks for the tip), it doesn't solve the
problem off having my tabs expanded out to spaces. 

>From changing the tabstop value in the source file and
the destination file I have gathered that the
expansion from tabs to spaces occurs when the text is
copied rather than when it's pasted. I think this is
why I presumed it was a problem with my screen
settings rather than with vim.
