Here's a patch that changes the default fileformats in vi-compatible mode 
to "unix,dos", for Cygwin.
I'll also attach it, since I'm using Eudora (with format=flowed), which may 
screw up indentation.

If Corinna likes the patch, I'll also send it to the vim-dev list.  (It may 
be a while before it becomes "official", though, since Bram is on a 
well-deserved vacation.)

     I always wondered about the meaning of life.   So I looked it
     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
