emacs 20.x handing of CR

I've just realized that the 20.x versions of emacs have a different way of 
handling EOL.  If the file has each line terminated by CR-LF (yes, I sometimes
need to deal with Micky-soft files), the CR doesn't display as ^M as it used
to in the 19.x versions. 

Additional lines terminated by the CR-LF combination.

Does anyone know what's going on?  Is there an option to turn off this new 
behavior, and get the old (I sometimes want to know exactly what's going on in
my files, and control it), other than using hexl mode?

Thanks.
