I think you mean that C-x RET c first will give you a file which
looks normally. Omitting the C-x RET c will give you a file which
contains ^M at the end of the lines.
I think that's because most lines end with ^M but not all of them
do. Can you look carefully whether really all lines end with ^M?
Emacs does not assume DOS line endings unless all of them are DOS
line endings.
