That's quite simple: Use LaTeX. Really, it solves all your
problems. You can easily code Umlauts and Eszett in a smart
way: \usepackage{german} and then:

	Der L"owe fri"st M"usli.
	Und "Ol mag er auch.

LaTeX also pays attention to placing the ligatures properly.
You can easily create PDF output (for sending text to others),
as well as easy printing (PS output).

In pure text mode, you can of course use ae, oe, ue and ss
substitutions which are valid.
