On mine it's under View -> Show Symbol -> Show End of Line – Cameron Apr 12 '10 at 12:43

I think it's in different places in different versions. I have version 5.6.6. – Cameron Apr 12 '10 at 12:54

You've probably turned on some mode that displays control characters. CR-LF (\r\n in C parlance) is the standard end-of-line sequences in Windows.

Indeed, you're seeing control characters in your view. Just for fun, a little bit of CR/LF history.
