Nearly perfect. Ein gluckliches neues Jahr is the right version.

This gives me the opportunity (sp?) to state one thing:

I would like the receive corrected versions of my postings if
the spelling/gramma was incorrect. I think that's the best chance
I get to improve my english.

But (shame-red face here) don't post it to the list, but send it to
me via privat-email.

Thanx for your time.
bye,
Stefan

I guess you are a dead man now! I'll send some flowers.

And the totally correct version is: Ein Glueckliches Neues Jahr!

I don't dare to let the umlaute loose on enlgish and american people.
Why should I write Glueckliches in capital letters. It's an adjektiv,
isn't it?

Yes, it's an adjective. Also, I don't think the ASCII standard has umlaute.

Well the 7-bit (amerika) ASCII doesnt, but the 8-bit table does :)
