Dear Kevin

there are a number of possible problems:-

A) font problems, namely is a suitable font installed and if yes is  
Outlook 2007 using it.(try changing the font options)

B)the messages may be in some other encoding for some reason (try a  
few, like utf-16 etc and see what happens).

C)The email server doesn't like utf8

below:-

A quick test

greek with accents

. 2Cor. 5:1 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ ἐπίγειος ἡμῶν οἰκία τοῦ σκήνους
καταλυθῇ, οἰκοδομὴν ἐκ θεοῦ ἔχομεν, οἰκίαν ἀχειροποίητον αἰώνιον ἐν  
τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.

greek without accents

οιδαμεν γαρ οτι εαν η επιγειος ημων οικια του σκηνους καταλυθη  
οικοδομην εκ θεου εχομεν οικιαν αχειροποιητον αιωνιον εν τοις ουρανοις

Chinese with spaces in between the characters (for which many do not  
have the font)

我 们 原 知 道 , 我 们 这 地 上 的 帐 棚 若 拆 毁 了 , 必 得 神 所 造 , 不 是 人 手 所 造 , 在 天 上  
永 存 的 房 屋
