FIX: BOM isn't removed by MIME encoder when Content-Transfer-Encoding is 8-bit in BizTalk Server

Assume that you are using Microsoft BizTalk Server. When an XML message is sent to Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) encoder, the byte order mark (BOM) isn't removed by the MIME encoder if Content-Transfer-Encoding is 8-bit. In this situation, you may receive the following message, in which BOM characters aren't removed:

This issue is fixed in the following cumulative updates for BizTalk Server:

       Cumulative Update 2 for BizTalk Server 2016

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
