Subject: Emacs on Windows: How to save line breaks in Unix style in undecided buffers by default.
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:59:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c6bcfae0901250459v6ab06cf0o1dfc02f0d21fe9d2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

In unsaved buffers that are not linked to a file the end-of-line style
is 'undecided'.
In this case Emacs saves line breaks in DOS style (crlf) on Windows.
How can I set it up to use Unix line breaks (lf) by default?

Calling (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) or setting "" in
file-coding-system-alist to 'undecided-unix works as a quick fix, but
also causes DOS style files to be opened as Unix style files, which is
rather annoying.

Thank you!
Hans
