Persistant Errors with 0.8.16

Hello,

I've been using Calibre for months to convert documents to eReader formats for a non-profit client with no problems at all. I've recently downloaded the latest build for Mac, version 0.8.16. When I try and convert a simple HTML file to .mobi format I'm getting errors. The crux of the error message seems to be

Code:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 4095: unexpected end of data
I uninstalled the app and every file related to it and reinstalled, but I'm still getting the errors, leaving my client a bit wanting. Can anyone help me make sense of what's going on?

Full error message below:

You're trying to convert a file that has a UTF-8 BOM but is not encoded as UTF-8
