I did try noconvert.  It didn't do what I (and I guess everyone else)
expected -- it seems to mean 'don't even convert the file from DOS
format to UNIX format before I load it into the buffer, so now there's
carriage returns at the end of each line'.

An example:

$ unix2dos someFile.txt
$ nano --noconvert someFile.txt

(buffer reads)
aoeu^M
aoeu^M
aoeu^M
aoeu^M
^M

I'm using Fedora Core 2.  Maybe the bug here then is noconvert is
broken?
