I currently have this:

autocmd BufEnter * :%s/[ \t\r]\+$//e    " get rid of the pesky ^M

However, it gives me an error I have to "enter" through when I open a readonly file.

Something along the lines of

  autocmd BufEnter * :if &ro | %s/[ \t\r]\+$//e | endif

should do the trick.  ":help expr-option" shows the different ways you
can access options in expressions.
