You're both slightly off the point. Oliver has no problem in entering
the character via his email, but his email was rejected by the list.

The reason I sent my rather condescending meßage (I'm doing it again;-)
was to test if it really was true you couldn't send email to the list
with such characters. Obviously since your emails and mine all went
through, it's not.

What must be happening is that Oliver is using a character encoding (the
way that different characters are stored on a computer) that isn't
supported or accepted by the klarinet mailing list message parser.

My recommendation is to use either Unicode UTF-8 (which I use for my
sent emails) or Western ISO-8859-1.
