Here's a patch that changes the default fileformats in vi-compatible mode
to "unix,dos", for Cygwin.
I'll also attach it, since I'm using Eudora (with format=flowed), which may
screw up indentation.
If Corinna likes the patch, I'll also send it to the vim-dev list. (It may
be a while before it becomes "official", though, since Bram is on a
well-deserved vacation.)

up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
of life. It was not what I expected. - Dogbert
