Does anyone really use the latter? I'm thinking of words that _do_
contain `ae' (not ä) etc. in German (see Oliver's posting
<uisphppkz.fsf@ID-87814.user.dfncis.de">news:uisphppkz.fsf@ID-87814.user.dfncis.de>). Typing `aee' for `ae'
seems really weird.

I use Alt_R+a for `ä' and so on (US keyboard layout):
cat <<EOF | xmodmap -
keysym 1 = 1 exclam onesuperior
keysym 2 = 2 at twosuperior
keysym a = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keysym o = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keysym u = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keysym s = s S ssharp
keysym comma = comma less guillemotleft
keysym period = period greater guillemotright
EOF
The advantage is, that it works for all (X-) applications, not only
Emacs.
Gernot, please check your T-Gnus and/or Emacs settings. Your message
didn't contain a proper Content-Type header (e.g. "Content-Type:
text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1") and you Umlaut characters were sent
as `\201ä' (character: \201 (0201, 129, 0x81); charset:
eight-bit-control (8-bit control code (0x80..0x9F))).
Maybe you have `standard-display-european' in your config files? If
so, try to remove it.
