bug#2186: 23.0.90; inhibit-eol-conversion problem in a DOS file

[Seweryn Kokot]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In the Emacs manual it is written that if inhibit-eol-conversion is non-nil
then ^M is displayed at every line instead of (DOS) in modeline. However
no matter to what inhibit-eol-conversion is set (t or nil) I always get
(DOS) and no ^M when visiting a DOS file.

Thanks in advance.

Seweryn
