I write:
It is also the case that while both sender and receiver of the message may have all the appropriate settings to compose and read Unicode text, the various mail servers between those two points may not be so configured. That appears to be the case quite often in the messages of the various Yahoo groups, like the LXX list and so on. Untill all the computers for all user involved, from beginning to end of the email process, are Unicode-compliant, we'll continue to see these problems. Transliteration is still the best practice at this point.
