utf-8 encoding without BOM

[Péter Zsoldos]

Greetings,

I'm using gVim 6.3 on Windows Xp Sp2 and I ran into a problem that I 
need to edit files with UTF-8 encoding, but I just can't get VIM to do 
so. If I create utf-8 encoded files in notepad, VIM accepts this, but 
places the BOM into the file. This BOM causes me a lot of problems, 
since I edit PHP files and quite often I need to send headers - anyone 
with PHP experience can tell you BOM makes sending headers 
impossible.... I tried :help encoding, but there is no 'enc' command 
available and :set fileencodings=utf-8 doesn't seem to work either. I'll 
continue googling, but help would be appreciated, because I'd need to 
fix this in order to start working..

Thanks in advance,

Peter
