I am very new to Emacs, using Aquamacs on a Mac running OS 10.10. I'm creating and editing files that end up on a BSD system, so they need to conform to *nix standards. Apparently, the files I'm creating have carriage return line feeds, which my supervisor is understandably getting annoyed with having to strip out. I don't understand why this is the case, because my understanding is that the Mac hasn't used CR line breaks since they moved to OS 10. How can I fix this? Obviously, I'm not looking for a solution that has to be implemented for each new buffer I open, but rather a solution that will be the default for all new buffers.

    AFAIK, by default Emacs never creates files that use CR as line breaks (under Windows, CRLF is used by default and LF is used by default everywhere else), so I think we need more details of your situation to understand why you end up with CR line breaks. – Stefan Jul 02 '15 at 15:22
  • I'd be happy to provide any details needed, but I have no idea where to start with that. – Gregory Jul 02 '15 at 15:53
  • For example: can you reproduce this with any file? Can you reproduce this behavior with an empty `~/.emacs` file? How exactly do you create your new files? – Stefan Jul 02 '15 at 16:05
