One approach is to do a Google search on the name. The top site will
probably come up with the proper accent marks. Then you can cut and
paste them into your message, like so: Mötley Crüe.

I don't think that would work. kithrup is a UNIX engine and I'm
typing straight ASCII into vi.

Just make sure that your setup is eight-bit clean, and not infested
with MIME. (Unless you're aware of a band that spells its name with
equal signs and hexadecimal. I'm not. But then I'm not much of a
non-classical music fan.)

Me neither.

(Just don't ask me to type "ABBA" with one of the "B"s pointing
backwards.)

OK, I won't.
