If you have not done so, I suggest reading the help on 'ff' and 'ffs':

:help 'ff

I use a status line (:set laststatus=2) with an expression that warns me if the line endings are not unix ones:

set statusline=%<%f%1*%{&ff=~'u'?'':&ff}%*\ %h%m%r%=%-16.(%l,%2c\ \ %L%)\ %P

The bits about the line endings are

%1* set the highlighting to User1
%{&ff=~'u'?'':&ff} if the ff option doesn't have a u, show it
%* reset the highlighting back to the normal status line setting

This way I'm warned if vim reads a dos or mac file; in most colour schemes the status line has a contrasting background to the text and User1 doesn't, so the break in the background is noticeable.
