   Hello Chris,   
      
   On Monday February 27 2023 02:39, you wrote to me:   
      
    MvV>> Notepad handles UTF-8 quit well but the last time I tried it as   
    MvV>> external editor for Golded it insisted on adding a BOM to the   
    MvV>> message text. That was many years ago so maybe newer versions of   
    MvV>> notepad do not do that anymore. Adding or using a BOM in UTF-8   
    MvV>> text is considered obsolete practise.   
      
    CJ> Here, on Windos 11, Notepad does not require a BOM.   
      
   My point was not that Notepad requires a BOM, but that it adds a BOM.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
