As I still have to work with other applications (Emacs, etc.) which
will continue to write files with DOS line endings, removing the ^Ms
is not a practical option, as I'd have to do that constantly.

I understand the option of rerunning setup and setting the DOS radio
button, but I actually already tried that.  After going through a few
dialogs, it said "Nothing to update" (or something like that), and it
seemed like it had no effect.  However, based on my limited
understanding of this, I think this would probably be the best option
(if I can get it to work).

I don't understand the option of setting text mode mount points.  I
have no idea what the ramifications of that would be.
