[jira] Created: (TIKA-240) Drop the BOM when extracting plain text

Drop the BOM when extracting plain text
---------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-240
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-240
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
            Priority: Minor


Plain text files sometimes have a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file to better indicate the character encoding used in the file. It looks like Tika currently outputs the BOM as a part of the extracted text, which is not desirable.
