Open the file in Emacs with: M-x find-file-literally RET filename RET and then replace all ^M occurences with the empty string, with: M-x replace-string RET C-q C-m RET RET The important trick here is that you use C-q to 'quote' the C-m character in the substitution string :) > also is there a mail list focused specifically on emacs usability? > please refer me to it? There are at least 2 USENET newsgroups where GNU Emacs questions can be posted: comp.emacs gnu.emacs.help I'm not sure about mailing lists, though.
