Samba does not touch the contents of the files, which is good. Handling text files
and html files is something, that we as users should take care about. One solution that
was suggested to me was use freeware or shareware products on Microsoft platform.
I downloaded GWD Text editor and use it in the place of Notepad. It converts text
files from different platforms appropriately. You can choose wordpad, but IMHO it is
a bit heavier than GWD. GWD is lightweight and does the job well.

There is another circumlocuted way of converting the files, using programs like dos2unix
and unix2dos. That is not worth it. You are better off using some good text editors on
Microsoft platforms.

Hope that helps.
