Subject: bug#8780: 24.0.50; Coding system and eol style auto-detection after opening remote files
Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 10:26:22 +0200

1. Start Emacs (emacs -Q).

2. Save the *scratch* buffer file to the local machine, in format
`iso-latin-1-dos'.

3. Put an exact copy of the above file into another machine accesible via ftp.

4. Open the local file (created in #2), and check the modeline flags
(coding system and eol style) and the buffer contents. --> Both look
right.

5. Open the remote file (C-x C-f /user <at> host:/path-to-file), and check
the modeline flags and buffer contents. --> Both look right too.

6. Kill both buffers and repeat step #4 and/or #5. --> Now the
behavior is different (and likely wrong): (a) the modeline flags say
nothing about the coding system, (b) the eol style supposedly is
(Unix) now, and thus the buffer shows ^M characters at the end of each
and every line.
