UTF-8 BOM file upload conversion before Validation

You can turn the BOM off in your programming editor.

Each editor has a different way of doing it so you will have to find yours.

Thanks!

It is the easiest solution, of course.

However, these txt/csv files come from external sources I cannot have control over. They contain customer data mostly exported out of Excel.
I cannot just tell the user at the other end of the pipeline to take additional steps and reconvert their files because they have BOM ("They have what!? - would they ask...").

And our goal as developers is to find the most user-friendly solution, right? 

Cheers!
