- Using the clipboard with MEmacs at all comes as a surprise to me -
- That Amiga-V works within MEmacs is not documented in the manual.

- Anyway, I suppose your problem occurs when the line in which the
- cursor is when you press Amiga-V is indented. This is because LFs
- in the pasted text are apparently handled as if the Enter key on
- the numeric keypad was pressed: Indentation is automatically main-
- tained for the next line.
-
- The workaround is left as an exercise. :)
