It's true that lines in text files are terminated with ^M^J under DOS
and the many flavors of Windows. But the versions of Emacs I've used
(20.7 & 21.1) will translate ^J into ^M^J when the coding system is
undecided dos, the default.
Whenever I've seen ^M, it's usually because I'm opening a file that
Emacs thinks is Unix and uses that coding system.
Perhaps you're using a version of Emacs that's installed under Cygwin?
That might influence Emacs' choice of coding system. Or maybe you're
opening a file on a Unix server?

No, I disagree. Windows' line ending convention is CR LF (^M^J).
That's why when you open a file that came from a Windows box in Emacs
without coding system translation enabled you see
Line1^M
Line2^M
Line3^M
