Hey Folks,

i got the following problem:

## inside vim with NOT activated spell check ##
every German Umlaut I type in is followed by a blank.
for instance, when i type in äöüß this is written in vim: "ä ö ü ß "

## inside vim with activated spell check ##
very very confusing ascii-characters are shown when i type in German Umlauts (some kind of ascii border characters to build frames in dos)

using the locale command says that i'm using the POSIX charset.
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
...
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

any help is appreciated

best regards
