Removing spurious ^M in Emacs when using tramp

/ bronto

I had this problem since I switched from XEmacs to Emacs: when using tramp, filenames or buffer information all got a spurious trailing ^M. I have always worked around this problem, but today I decided it was enough.

This snippet in my .emacs file fixed it:

  ;; trying to get rid of those annoying ^M's in buffer names
  ;; and file names when using tramp

(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
