As a general rule, just leave "Translate Line Breaks" turned on and BBEdit will do the right thing with existing files. :-) in a bit more detail: The "Default Line Breaks" option (in the Text Files prefs panel) determines what line ending format BBEdit sets for newly-created files. However, BBEdit will always preserve the line ending format of any existing file you open, unless you explicitly change the format before (or while) saving the file.
