i will start by saying that because i dont have the source of iconv.dll (where 
is it? can it be downloaded?) your suggestion may
be right. i must add that the "2 bytes/characters cut" case is when the content 
is in pure english.

assuming you are correct, wont it be logic for it to check first if there are 
BOM characters before removing them?
