My comment is not helpful … "Umlaut" is a German word and names the set of exactly these characters: Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, and ü. The two dots on a vowel or consonant are called a "DIAERESIS". The two dots are also called "TREMA".

You should be able to find out in which encoding this message was sent to you. This encoding should be displayed as a particular character at the left edge of the mode-line. Picking that character with the mouse cursor should open a *Help* buffer and explain its meaning. (More relations of displayed character and encoding system used are listed with M-x list-coding-systems.) If the buffer with the received message shows the wrong character and text encoding and you know the proper one, then you can invoke revert-buffer-with-coding-system and pass the proper argument to the function. This function also available from menu: Options -> Multilingual Environment -> Set Coding Systems -> For Reverting This File Now (C-x RET r).

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
