I'm using oc-unicode and Mule-UCS with fairly good success,but I
haven't been using Emacs for e-mail. However, on a quick test a
minute ago, I discovered that using set-buffer-file-coding-system to
utf-8 and set-input-method to latin-3 appears to produce a message
encoded in latin-3, which is my default encoding. The message is
readable, but not what I had hoped for.

One possible source of you problem unrelated to Emacs may be this:
