Unfortunately, this does not help. I put the lines, the author suggests, to my .emacs. I still see Umlauts as two or more characters in emacs. Both in an utf-8 xterm and in X-Window-mode. I'm running an utf-8 locale, which I hope is correct. At least mutt is able to display all my mails (even some Chinese spam) correctly with it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ env | grep ^L LC_LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 Thanks, Jim
