Here's a list Wifey made for me lots of years ago. Also on Windows you can find them in your character map.
Thänks för thät.....
I'm lazy and just put an "e" after the vowel that requires the umlaut or type ss which has the same grammatical effect.
Before computers or even word processors were in such common use this is what we did in Germany using english typwriters. I stand to be corrected but I was always taught that it is completely acceptable and is what the Germans do if they don't have the german style of keyboard.
It certainly never caused any reaction from my German colleagues (mostly German Police who do like their "I's" dotted and "T's" crossed ) and in fact was appreciated over just doing without the umlaut and other characters as it showed you were making the effort and did have at least some understanding of the language!
Good tip though if you need to have it "just so"

Mark is right.
If they are unavailable for technical reasons, it is perfectly acceptable to replace the Umlauts with ae, oe and ue and the "ß" with "ss" or "sz"*.
This was/is also done in Germany with telegrams and telexes of yore or, more recently, internet domains.
(* Never, ever, replace the "ß" with a "B" just because it looks similiar. Everytime I see this, it drives me up the wall.)
