This one looks a bit strange to me (the u-umlaut being encoded by two
"numbers", the o-umlaut by one).
Anyway, it seems that Emacs (under GNU/Linux) is trying to interpret the
text in a wrong encoding. You can find out what coding system Emacs is
using at the moment with the key sequence "C-h C" -- you might want to
compare the answers under Windows and GNU/Linux.
Also: what does this file look like if you pass it through "hexdump -C"?
