It would be great, if AkelPad could also remeber enabled/disabled BOM setting along with charset when saving a file.

From AkelPad 3.0.9 changelog:
Changed: now recent files code page information doesn't contain BOM, which always again detected during file opening.
For what you need this?

Hello,
I have found a quite unusual behaviour related to this I believe.
When automatic code page detection is turned on UTF-8 BOM is not always respected and this automatic page detection might detect the codepage wrong.
For slovak language default ansi code page is windows-1250. If I'll write a text in slovak, save it in UTF-8 with BOM, turn automatic code page detection to latin; subsekvent tryals to open such file result in windows-1250 code page being detected. I think when UTF-8 BOM is present there should be no detection taking place.

I think it really has BOM.
When code page detection is turned off it is corectly recognized as UTF-8 and status bar says:
Also if codepage detection is turned on and I'll reopen the file from the F12 popup menu as UTF-8 it shows the same. If you like I can send you the file but I can reproduce it in all the cases.

*BOM - means that file doesn't have BOM.
