[rt-users] mason unicode utf-8 BOM - junk in component output

[Ruslan Zakirov]

As BOM is useless in UTF-8 files, since UTF-8 independand from
byte-order you can use files without BOM, but sure it looks more like
Mason problem and if BOM is required in your environment then it's
better send question to mason's lists.
