Ahhhhh. Thanks. Well, but then, this could easily be solved:

Add (also to the README) a comment about adding
        -w "öÖäÄüÜß"
to the cmdline of ispell and it works.

My .emacs now contains:
(custom-set-variables
 '(ispell-local-dictionary-alist (quote (("american8" "[A-ZÄÖÜäöüß]"
        "[^A-ZÄÖÜäöüß]" "[']" nil 
        ("-B" "-d" "american" "-w" "öÖäÄüÜß") "~latin1" iso-8859-1)))))

which works perfectly also with files containing "Gödel". Thanks for the
hint. I would say that a slight adjustment in the README should be
enough to close the bug.

Best wishes

Norbert
