[B-Greek] Unicode text-encoding

List-members, please be careful when using a Unicode Greek font in a  
message sent to the list:
(1) to be sure that the text-encoding for your message is set to UTF-8;
(2) to add a B-Greek transliteration of the Greek text items that you  
cite.

It's my impression that this is a more common problem with people who  
regularly use multi-part MIME formatting rather than plain-text --
the HTML part shows the Unicode properly, but the HTML part is  
filtered out by our list software, and if the plain-text text-encoding  
is
not properly set, the Greek shows up as gobbledy-gook.
