In an ISO Latin-9 (ISO 8859-15, the one with €) encoded buffer 
(LaTeX/AUCTeX/flyspell) aspell does not recognize for example "später" 
(later/plus tard). It's two words: "sp" and "ter". The propositions 
contain UTF-8/are UTF-8 encoded (from the dictionary) and incorrectly 
shown in the *Choices* buffer: every byte is displayed in ISO Latin-1 
or such instead of choosing the right glyph for the two or three byte 
UTF-8 sequences.

I have a very simple set-up:

        (setq ispell-dictionary "german8")
;       (setq ispell-program-name "ispell")
        (setq ispell-program-name "aspell")
        (if (string= "aspell" ispell-program-name)
          (progn
;           (setq ispell-dictionary "german8")
	    (setq ispell-cmd-args "--norm-form=comp --norm-required 
--run-together")
            (set-default 'ispell-local-dictionary "german8")
            (message "Alles für «a»spell")
            )
;           (setq ispell-dictionary "german8")
            (message "Alles für »i«spell")
        )
	(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (function (lambda () (setq 
ispell-extra-args '("-t")))))

The line with ispell-cmd-args does not work at all. If I use ispell 
instead of aspell everything's fine!
