Why would this be true? Quoting from section 2.6 of the Unicode 5.0 standard <http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.0.0/ch02.pdf#G19273>: Use of a BOM is neither required nor recommended for UTF-8, but may be encountered in contexts where UTF-8 data is converted from other encoding forms that use a BOM or where the BOM is used as a UTF-8 signature. I would expect that one would only choose utf-8 as the character set for english in an environment where the web server's default character set is utf-8, and emails built from .txt templates will have a Content-Type: header specifying the character set. Thus, I don't see why the BOM would ever be needed. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
