in thread UTF-8 text files with Byte Order Mark

The test file seems to match that three-byte BOM indeed.

I'm happy to know you don't usualy see utf-8 files with a BOM, but as pointed out below, some programs still store it, such as Notepad. One of my users seems to have a utf-8 file with a BOM too.
