Really? I too was under the impression that family names come first in your culture. Sorry to assume too much. > > Could you give me an example?

Damn, this stuff is ... inconvenient. You're posting using iso-8859-1. I'm attempting to accomodate foreign charsets (well, those I can read) by using iso-8859-15 (Latin-9?). Your post is far more readable for me than was Stephan Seitz' (utf-8) post, which was only barely readable here. When slrn has utf-8 support, I'll change. :-( [Sorry if I spelt your name wrong, Stephan. I'm trying your //TRANSLIT trick in mutt. Hopefully, I got enough out of your post to try it correctly.
