As i know the Alt Gr + vowel only works MS windows for certain locales (aka region settings). The orginal message came from someone who i would geuss is American from their email address, and as far as i know this wont work if the locale is set to en-US. Please correct me if im wrong.
This came up in conversation the other day. If AltGr+vowel does work then `+vowel should give you an If you want a accent in the other direction (the character ` is postioned just below the Esc key). (None of these seem to work with the old version of KDE+FreeBSD which im using right now) So the orginal answer of Insert -> Symbol will definately work and the other suggestions might work, depenging on what Operating System you use and how it is setup.
