Doug,
In my Windows days seems like there was a way to access the keyboard settings
and set up international keyboards. I then set it up to do English or German
and it put a little button down by the clock. Clicking on the button would
toggle me between English and German keyboards, and that was a universal deal
that was independent of whatever program was running.
In Linux you have the same thing...
KDE Control center, Input Devices, International Keyboard
Then just set up which languages you want and click the little box to dock the
button in the panel. Now you can switch between English and German (or
anything else) on the fly.
Regarding email programs for Linux and umlaut characters, I'm using Pronto!,
and here's a line of characters to see if they'll work
����
We'll see if you and I can read these after this mail is sent! It works fine
in my composer window. Before using Pronto! for email, I was using Netscape
w/o problems as well (just that Pronto! is 100x better than Netscape).
So, give Pronto! a try and you can get rid of your Windoze email. :)
