    An example of a text editor which does allow the user to choose is UniPad
    http://www.unipad.org/
    (right click on the file and then choose Current Options)

    Another example is Babelpad
    http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelPad.html
    (Options /File Options / Save withh BOM by default)
