Re: Spelling Hahnemuehle,was: Subject and Header Lines

Bernd,

I think that we best go with the Hahnemuhle spelling at this point 
since we have already gone down that road.

A test search on the list using "Hahnemuhle" turns up about a page of 
posts while "Hahnemühle" and "Hahnemuehle" give no results.

I would complain to Yahoo except they don't seem to have a adress to 
complain to. The entire thing is ridiculuous since they have Yahoo 
home pages in several European countries that appear to use these 
characters without a problem.
