My e-mail client only allows me to insert non-ASCII characters into HTML (or 
RTF), not plain text: the option to insert symbols is greyed out in plain text 
mode.  If I type non-ASCII characters in HTML mode then switch to plain text 
the symbols are all converted to garbage, e.g. Greek lower case 'sigma' appears 
as '('.

Maybe that's a deficiency of my e-mail client but I have to work with the tools 
I'm given (working in a company I'm not at liberty to choose any e-mail client).
