I actually thought about this. But it just seems crude;

vim some.txt
^vufeff<Enter>
<Esc>:wq<Enter>

It does work though.
But I want UTF-8 without a BOM. It is, after all, the default locale.
Is Firefox really this braindead?

Note: If you edit this again, vim doesn't show the BOM any more. It's 
there though.

Rob
