Subject: bug#16155: 24.3.50; 
Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2013 06:47:56 -0500

In text mode, if the buffer contains
-----------------------------------------
foo

   bar

-----------------------------------------

and point is at the end of the line, and I type RET,
it indents the following line.

I don't ever like having newline indent.  It should be a minor mode,
and the documentation of `newline' should explain how to easily turn
this off.

However, in this case with the blank line after `bar', it is even less
likely to be desirable to indent the new line like `bar'.
