In the case of the Greek characters that you added, there are 3 Greek
encodings, including one very popular Microsoft encoding (cp1253).
However, if you send to me with this encoding, I will get Hebrew
characters, not Greek, because I see "cp" encodings as cp1255. You
have no way of knowing how my machine is configured, but with utf-8
you don't have to. Also, I've sent mail with Hebrew, Russian, and
English characters in the same mail- only utf-8 is capable of that.
