Probably. This brings also the issue up into my mind that if I cut a
certain piece of text inside a browser and try to paste it into an emacs
buffer all umlauts will be prepended by a sequence like ^[%/1??iso8859-15^B .
If I want to save files containing those sequences (or even if I removed this
crop) I will be asked:
Select coding system (default utf-8):
The problem is that there seems to be no chance to get the text stored as
plain ASCII-Text (LaTeX or HTML document) and this is a *really* boring
missfeature in my opinion which I would love to get rid of.

How to set this or rather ho make this default?

Once I copied the following lines from anywhere:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
(setq ispell-dictionary "german-old8")
(defun turn-on-flyspell-mode()
(flyspell-mode t)
)
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell-mode)
(add-hook 'html-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell-mode)
Moreover there is the unchanged
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el
on my box which is part of the dictionaries-common package. If the problem
does not happen on your box I would be interested in rent settings which are
different to my box.
Kind regards
Andreas to my box.
