I am using: @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 
0.60.2)
The GNU Emacs CVS code is about one week old.

I observed that it's helpful to invoke by hand/interactively 
ispell-change-dictionary so that aspell runs with this extra argument: 
--encoding=utf-8. It too seems to make it accept words with umlauts as 
one word. I just started to read once more aspell.info to make aspell 
launch from the start with the right arguments ...
