'less -r file' for a quick fix. 'export LANG=de_DE' works for me, and is
probably better long-term.

'export LC_CTYPE=de_DE' should also work, if you want to keep messages in
English, but still get the Umlaute. At least it works for me with bash.

Hello,

Reading from the manpage for 'less', the option '-r' or
'--raw-control-chars' causes raw control characters to be
displayed.

export LANG=de_DE

or

export LC_CTYPE=de_DE

or, if this doesn't work,

export LESSCHARSET=de_DE

or, if this doesn't work,

export LESSCHARSET=de_DE

That should be 'export LESSCHARSET=latin1' or 'export
LESSCHARSET=iso8859'.

Arrrgh, of course, you're right, I just had de_DE in mind and didn't
think.
