Easy peasy.
Buried deep in the Windows directory is a little program called
"Character Map", double click on it.
Then make sure in the <FONT> box the word "System" is visible.
Now close the program.
Then single click on the file name and drag it out to your desktop so
that you get a shortcut icon which will give you quick access to the
program in the future.
You can now copy and paste any required German character, even
including the old "S set" (ß) (everything I am puting in brackets
should show the desired character, if you can't see them then you need
to adjust either your email program settings or your windows settings.)
There are also keyboard shortcuts which should work from within your
email program, thus, if I holddown the "Alt" key and on my number pad
type in "0223" I get an "S set" (ß) which looks like a running writing
capital "B".
So, using the keyboard shortcut I can get Südstadt (you should see
the "u" with an umlaut above it) which is the suburb where Andreas
lives.
It will gladen the cockles of Andreas' heart to suddenly see you lot
all become German character savvy. He can take care of any further
German lessons.
So when someone finds themselves a Stürmtiger (hah, hah) you can type
it correctly...................

Doug
