         ^^^^^^^^^
Windows is the culprit for the insertion of 
the ^M  character
:-(

google is our friend:
http://openacs.org/blog/one-entry?entry_id=297156
----------------------------------------
To replace the annoying ^M characters you can search and replace. The following representation holds true:

^M = C-q C-m

Resulating in this sequence:

M-%
Query replace: C-q C-m with: C-q C-j
-------------
You can write a function [2] that 
re-search-forward ^M
replace-match ""

and call this function in a pre-hook 
before importing.

Carsten, is there such a pre-hook?

cheers,
Giovanni

[2] google is again our friend ;-)

I use the following function to remove the trailing ^M from such files:

(defun xsteve-remove-control-M ()
  "Remove ^M at end of line in the whole buffer."
  (interactive)
  (save-match-data
    (save-excursion
      (let ((remove-count 0))
        (goto-char (point-min))
        (while (re-search-forward " $" (point-max) t)
          (setq remove-count (+ remove-count 1))
          (replace-match "" nil nil))
        (message (format "%d ^M removed from buffer." remove-count))))))
