this sequence of keys allows to select the coding system for the
text. In most cases, mac-roman-mac is a good choice.

As far as I know, ^M^M is the coding of the line ends in the
windows world. Emacs shows the coding of the line ends at
the bottom within parenthesises. Clicking with the mouse
there changes the coding of the line ends. I am very happy
with the mac-style.

If after the selection of a new coding of the line ends,
^M^M still appear in the file, you could do a query-replace.
Enter ^Q^M^Q^M as search string and use an empty string as
replace string.
