Well, you can get a free webmail account with Yahoo if you need to send
Greek emails. I tried it out on mine and unicode Greek worked fine with
no change in setting. You do need to set the account's options/compose
options to "plaintext" to avoid problems with the list.

The problem may be as simple as they don't allow changing encoding to UTF-8. AOL promotes HTML email and for a long time did not provide a plain text option.
