Hi!

I am having a hard time to get ispell in emacs to check words containing
umlauts and accented characters.

I tried the following (according to README.emacs):

I added a new dictionary entry to ispell-local-dictionary-alist using
customize:

(custom-set-variables
  '(ispell-local-dictionary-alist 
     (quote (("american8" "[A-ZÄÖÜäöüß]" "[^A-ZÄÖÜäöüß]" "[']" nil 
             ("-B" "-d" "american") "~latin1" iso-8859-1)))))

(Besides this my test .emacs is empty!)

Which I though should work.

Then I selected the american8 dictionary and wanted to check 
        Gödel
and got
        "Ispell and its process have different character maps."

How can I get ispell/emacs to check this correctly?
