I think then that a great service to our users would be to compile, or 
find one already, an exhaustive-as-possible list of the combination of 
OS version and email application version that is Unicode (extended 
range?) capable. That would allow the user to look at the list, verify 
if they can read the Greek, and if not see what they have to do to 
"make it so". (Sorry, I watched an episode of ST:TNG today during 
lunch.) Maybe one person should do the Windows list, another do the Mac 
list, and someone else for the "Other" category (Palm, *nix, etc.)
If you could get someone in every category of OS/client combination to 
respond to a screen test, that would help.
My 2¢,
Joe Weaks
