[scribus] EOL interpreted as end of paragraph.

I note that when importing text prepared in an external editor
like Gvim every end of line is interpreted by Scribus text
importer as an end of paragraph marker. I have set up Gvim to
automatically generate an EOL after I type 72 characters. For a
paragraph end I insert a blank line, following the TeX
convention. But when I import the text file into Scribus every
line becomes a paragraph. if I delete all EOL markers in Gvim then Gvim
will still wrap the lines visually but may divide lines in the middle
of a word to accomplish the visual wrap. That's a bit clumsy. 

HTML does not so interpret an EOL for example. And the blank line
convention is followed when typing emails. 

Is there a setting somewhere that prevents Scribus from
interpreting an EOL as an end of paragraph marker when importing text?
