The patch Shenghou created didn't help.  The problem is obviously the
coding system.  I tried 'raw-text-dos (as opposed to 'raw-text) with the
original files and that seemed to do the trick.  To read my nnfolders I had
to only set nnheader-file-coding-system.

There are other problems:
	* drafts get saved with the \r and Gnus forgets to ignore them when
	  loading the file.  I need to set nnmail-file-coding-system to
	  'raw-text-dos to get this right.
	* MIME binary parts (jpeg & gif) are getting saved with trailing
	  \r's and I can't view the image.  It looks like the
	  buffer-file-coding-system is getting set to 'undecided-dos which
	  happens to be the default-buffer-file-coding-system.
	* Message doesn't quite understand mail saved before I upgraded
	  to 20.3.  When I reply to older mail, message is unable to find
	  the author and subject.  The summary buffer displays this
	  information with no problem.

There MUST be an easier way to deal with all of this.  I'll ask the ntemacs
gang for help.
