I sometimes receive e-mail in German with 'Umlaute'.
These show up on my screen with the warning that it is the "ISO-8859-1"
character set. If I wish to answer how do I switch to this character set?
In MS-WORD the Umlaute are produced by 'control :', but this does not
work on Pine, which is at the UNIX machines of the Astronomy Dept.
