This is because Mac and unix (even the unix part of OS X) use
different end of line conventions. (and Windows uses yet another
convention)
Here are a couple of ways to fix files that have the ^M in them
(after they've been pasted into emacs and saved use one of the
scripts, then re-open in emacs).
Save this in a file, make it executable, put it in your PATH
#! /bin/csh -f
echo Lines before: `wc -l $1`
setenv tmpfl tmp`echo $$`
# echo temp file name $tmpfl
mv $1 $tmpfl
tr '\015' '\n' < $tmpfl > $1
echo Lines after `wc -l $1`
## should test for successful return from tr before removing temp file
rm $tmpfl
echo Done
alias mac2unix "perl -pi -e 'tr/\015/\012/' \!*"
And then you can use it directly from the command line:
% mac2unix MacTextFile.txt ...
