This is just the standard DOS line ending convention.  Your other
Windows tools will be very unhappy if you remove them.  Make sure you
know what you are doing first, then customize
`buffer-file-coding-system' to `undecided-unix'.

If your co-worker is using XEmacs on Windows (your mailer suggests
that you are), they have some kind of strange setting in their init
file or an extremely ancient version of XEmacs.  They can prevent
display by building XEmacs after configuring --with-file-coding or
--with-mule.  (Not both, --with-mule implies --with-file-coding.)
