i just searched hours for the problem.

the dcoumentations handles both, the mte file format and the settings dialog in one page so i misunderstood you could turn on/off the BOM in the mte file.

actually, i think it would be useful to de/activate BOM in the mte file since you may want to export several files where some need BOM and some won't.
