Hi listers,
Hope this helps with the umlaut. I have windows and use this very
small program that sits on the top of my page. You can close the
program, and not have it at the top of your computer. I just have a
shortcut on my desktop for it.
You can read about it and download it here.

Very quick and easy and nothing to change or remember how to type.
The lazy man's way!
Hopefully this helps. I am sure there are other places to download it
also.

Does anyone know of something like this that will work on a Mac?

There is a good way if you are using a Macintosh computer. (Of course everything is easier with a Mac.

If you want to type a letter with an umlaut, first type a "u" while holding down the option key. Then type the letter you want, an "o," "a," or "u" that you want to have an umlaut. That will give you a ö, ä, or ü. Sometimes these do not come across to some people's e-mail. If you want a double "s," type an "s" while holding down the option key and you get ß. I have tried this with my wife's Dell, and it does not work.
