Re: Fwd: Stray CR chars everywhere

[Eric Fowler <eric.fowler@gmail.com>]

Linux, Fedora. Not sure which version of Emacs, latest MS Windows version.

Buffer windows show ^M chars ... anything emacs produces. 'Make' output,
for instance.

When I try to open a file through TRAMP, I am repeatedly prompted for
password, which is a symptom of a CR/LF problem (according to net wisdom).
This has always worked before.
