Saving a file whose contents originally had a UTF-16 Little Endian BOM will
always change the BOM to be a UTF-16 Big Endian.



1 - After saving the contents externally (I use Notepad on XP to change the BOM)
with Unicode (= UTF-16 Little Endian BOM), force a refresh on the changed file.
The properties dialog will show the file has a UTF-16 encoding with a Little
Endian BOM. 
2 - Open the file with the text editor. The right encoding will be used to read
the file contents. 
3 - Make some changes in the editor and save. The properties dialog (Notepad as
well) will show the file has a UTF-16 encoding with a Big Endian BOM (should
still be Little Endian).

Never mind, I just realized that when you save a file using UTF-16 that is what
happens...
