If I saw this in an emacs buffer, I would type

C-x RET c mac RET C-x C-v RET

In GNU emacs that's universal-coding-system-argument mac followed by 
find-alternate-file, which reloads the current file with the Mac coding 
system, which it appears that this file is.

If that fixed the formatting, and I didn't really want it to be a Mac 
style file, I would C-x RET f unix RET C-x C-s to write it back out as a 
Unix file.

It's far too late for me to regard these key sequences as ridiculous and 
impossible to remember, I have drunk too deeply of the kool-aid.

For what it's worth, I use vi every day too.
