I handle this by running the text document through Tex-Edit Plus (not  
to be confused with Apple's TextEdit):
http://www.tex-edit.com/

and choosing "Add CR's/LF's" (which means "add character returns and  
line feeds.)
In Tex-Edit Plus, this is in the Special menu --> Quick Modify.

I believe that using TextWrangler and setting the text encoding to  
UTF-8 does the same thing.
