Emacs should try to figure out what to do with existing files: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/Text-and-Binary.html http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/Recognize-Coding.html#Recognize-Coding You can tell it never to try CR+LF on certain filesystems: (add-untranslated-filesystem "Z:") It also may need some help with newly-created files: (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system iso-8859-1-unix)
