Hi Sarah,
All emails I received from you are encoded using Unicode (UTF-8). Gmail works fine with Unicode.

Richard´s email is not encoded in Unicode. He has a Juno webmail account. As far as I know, Juno webmail is "powered" by Yahoo. Yahoo does not work fine with Unicode.

Hi, Roman --
I read your text fine, but Richard's example looked like two rows of question marks.

  Hello Richard,

  That is strange. Unicode is working great in all software I am using in my
  notebook.

  Some webmail clients like Yahoo are not Unicode enabled. Gmail works fine.

  Please let me know if you can read the following text:

  In Christ,

  Hello Folks,

  Below is my attempt to implement Roman Caceres' instructions for writing
  in Greek on the list. I used the Gentium font. The first line I typed out
  in MS Word and pasted it to my Juno e-mail program. The second I typed
  directly into my Juno e-mail program.

  ?e? ?a???? ??? ?? ?????...

  Yours in His grace,

  P. S. - I wonder why the English looks different above and below the
  Greek lines?
