Subject: bug#4924: Emacs No Longer Reads Mac Text Files

Dear Emacs maintainers,

Why is it that my new version of Emacs (v23.1.50.1) no longer 
understands Mac-format (CR) text files?  It still reads DOS (CRLF) files 
just fine.  Why remove support for one but not the other?

It is impossible to imagine that Mac format text files were a 
maintenance burden.  What is the point of gleefully deleting working 
code that was causing zero problems?

I see an upgrade to Emacs v21 in my future.
