Never saw *this* before...

There's one file (.htm) that I edit, and every time I write it to-disk,
it'll say "[converted]", much the way you'd see on reading a file the
status message that lists any non-native format or other quirks of the
file, eg, "[unix]", "[noeol]", etc.  (At least that's what I recall;
the file's at home and don't have access to it here.)

Uhhh, "converted" from/to *what*??

I explicitly set the file format to "dos" (running on w98), then write
it out with changes, etc., and quit, but every time I fire up even a new
session of 'vim' and read it again to edit it, I get the same
"[converted]" text on writing it back out.  So it seems to be writing it
back to the same "converted" way it was before, enough that it always
lists that text on writing the file even in a new editing session.

I did ':help converted^D' but came up with nothing that seemed relevant.

Any ideas?
