Any hard carriage returns will be kept when you copy paste.
Additionally, OE will do wrapping on sending based on your settings in
Tools, Options, Send, News, Plain Text Settings. IF you use MIME with
Quoted-printable text encoding, OE will any additional wrapping up to
the viewing program (the hard carriage returns from the original will
still be there.). But the proper wrapping is dependent on the viewer
using a MIME aware newsreader that will wrap the quoted-printable.
Otherwise it will look even worse.
If you are pasting only a few lines of text with the hard carriage
returns, you can manually remove them after pasting. Once you get the
hang of it you can do it pretty quickly. Start at the last line that
has the break. Then press the END key, then Space bar Then DELETE key.
That will put the line back together. Then press the up arrow key. And
repeat END, Space bar, DELETE.
If you have a lot of text, you might be interested in a utility for
cleaning up messages, such as

When I copy and paste printed text to news group post, the line breaks
from the original publication are retained and result in
something like:

PACKERS CHASING BELL
Bell was acquired by the Lions last week as part of the Dre' Bly deal.
As we've reported, both Bell and former Broncos tackle
George Foster are candidates to be traded again.
We're also told that the Packers contacted the Bears about the
availability of running back Thomas Jones, but the Bears said that he
is not available. It remains to be seen whether the Bears would be
willing to trade him to a team other than their intra-division
arch-rivals.

I think it might have something to do with
Tools/Options/Send/News Sending Format
Can the off the automatic word wrap be disabled?
