Hello Chris,

On Sunday February 26 2023 14:23, you wrote to me:

Aha!

Notepad handles UTF-8 quit well but the last time I tried it as external
editor for Golded it insisted on adding a BOM to the message text. That was
many years ago so maybe newer versions of notepad do not do that anymore.
Adding or using a BOM in UTF-8 text is considered obsolete practise.


Cheers, Michiel
