You didn't explain what the actual problem is -- just that you get different encodings for umlauts. _Why_ is that a problem? > 1) Which of the 2 "ä" is the "correct" one for a Linux system? It shouln't matter. > 2) How can I turn all "ä"s in .diary in "correct" äs? Put a coding cookie in the file, e.g. ;-*- mode: Emacs-Lisp; coding: latin-1; -*- if you want Latin-1.
