+Dear W. Spit,
+
+     I notice from your address that you do not like "F\'isica
+... de Val\'encia", since you have unsuccessfully tried to use a
+non-ascii accented i and e.  Are you aware that there is a very
+pracical compromise for Spanish, namely "F'isica ... de
+Val'encia"?
+
+     By practical I mean readable, typable, portable by email,
+and acceptable to TeX.
+
+     TeX does need to swallow a few macros before it can
+interpret "F'isica in Val'encia" correctly, but they are so
+succinct that you can put them in a header --- see below.
+
+     This header called email-sp improves on spaccent.sty of
+Pablo A. Straub <straub@cs.UMD.EDU> available since 1991, and
+posted on ftp moose.cs.indiana.edu. Notably, email-sp is
+compatible with mathematics and with case change by
+\uppercase,\lowercase, see (**) below.
+
+     Look for updates on ftp  matups.matups.fr where you can
+incidentally compare the more elaborate French version
+email-fr.sty.

+
+Notes on email-sp:
+
+ --- email-sp is for Spanish in the the ASCII world of email and
+ftp and telnet. The restriction to 7bit characters gives
+portability. Other features are immediate TeXing, easy typing,
+and readability.
+
+ --- email-sp typing can replace eight-bit typing. The converse
+is impossible since email is 7bit and the only universal standard
+is 7bit ASCII.
+
+ --- Why are 'n and 'N proposed as typing for <ntilde> and
+<Ntilde>?  It seems impossible to use ~n for <ntilde>!  Indeed
+\uppercase{~n} should then give the same as ~N.  But longstanding
+TeX custom reserves ~N  for <unbreakable space>N, as in
+R.~Nixon!
+
+ --- primes in math are OK  (**)
+
+ --- \uppercase{'e} is <Eaccute> etc. (**)
+
+ --- English Apostrophe (rare): type O'{}Hara.
+
+ --- French Apostrophe: To type small amounts of French with
+email-sp note that the line
+
+ \catcode`\/=13 \def/{\ifmmode\string/\else\string'\fi}%
+
+would make / an apostrophe in prose. This allows efficient
+typing: L/'eternel vs L'{}'eternel.
