[B-Greek] Transliteration please, especially in subject-headers!

We now have for a current thread an illegible subject-header in our  
archives:
"[B-Greek] ἱ?????? in 1 John 2:2 (expiation/propitiation)"

I have asked several times hitherto that list-members who insist upon  
using
Unicode accompany the Greek text with a version in our standard  
transliteration
scheme that is set forth in our FAQ at  http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/ 
faq.txt

This becomes all the more problematic when users of Unicode don't  
know how
to encode a message properly for plain-text so that the Greek will  
appear in
UTF-8 characters.
