readfile() and writefile() in practice

As far as I can tell, readfile() and writefile() have something against new lines. If I read a file and then immediately write that (a List) to another file, I get all of the first file's contents in a single line of the new file.

Is this just something I'm doing wrong? As it is, I apparently can't preserve new lines in a file when using these functions.
