Disable BOM (byte order mark) with target charset UTF in send pipeline

Hello,

I have some pipeline components that use the Flat File disassember.
I use the UTF8 encoding as the target charset property of the disassembler,
because we need to pass some "exotic characters" in these files. But the
system that interpretes the files is unable to interprete the byte order
mark that is placed at the beginning of the file. How can we prevent this?
I know I can write an encoding pipeline component that consumes the BOM and
passes the rest of the messagestream, but is there a more "elegant" way to
do this?

best regards
