Sure, but I was talking about the builtin touchpads in laptops,
and as far as I have seen all the Apple ones have one big button.
Apparently you can press some other keys to get at the other functions
that are normally provided by the middle and right button,
but I wonder how much that would mess up my habits.

This is the typical symptom when UTF-8 ü (C3 BC)
is displayed as Latin1 without proper conversion.
I recently switched my locale to UTF-8, so I know
it all too well. There are still pockets of resistance
(e.g. ctwm somehow wants a double UTF-8 encoding??),
but email is not one of them.
