Regular GNU Emacs, at least, should support different line endings and
detect CR, CR/LF and LF line endings automatically as long as the file
is internally consistent.  It may be the file you are looking at has a
mix of line endings.  You can specify an encoding/line ending format
with M-x revert-buffer-with-coding-system.  The coding systems are
specified as charset-name-{dos,unix,mac}, so for example if you want
to read a UTF-8 formatted file with Mac line endings, you use
utf-8-mac.  The line ending style, if non-Unix (LF) should be shown in
the bottom left corner of the status area.
