I avoided the German umlaut in my name by using the abbreviation "Hans
J. Koch" on mailing lists. Unfortunately, I still have one mail client
that uses the full name. I'll fix that to avoid similar trouble.

On the other hand, I used that for quite a while now, and didn't have
problems. It shouldn't be too difficult to have these programs use UTF-8
(or any other charset) properly these days.

Thanks,
Hans
