Remove BOM sending a document

At the beginning of UTF-8 or UTF-16 documents, usually are a set of not visible characters called BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark).

There are some systems that doesn’t allow these characters on documents, then when we are developing solutions on BizTalk and want to send a document to a system that doesn’t understand BOM characters, we can add at the send pipeline an assembler (XML or FLAT) and use their property Preserve byte order mark.


If we set to false this property, the assembler will delete BOM characters of the outgoing document.
