This would certainly be an advantage, if it would work, but I am not sure if the list software supports Unicode. AFAIK it does not, at least not in the digest mode. Is this correct? 
I see further problems with searching the archive. 

As a test I am now changing to "rich text" in Outlook, doing ALT-Z (for changing the keyboard) and typing Greek Unicode: 

εν αρχη ην ο λογος  without accents
ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος  with accents

Let's see what will remain of this in the digest. 

Best wishes
