Well,  Apple's Mail and probably most other modern e-mailers will use  
this format automatically if the message text contains Greek letters  
(as above) which is what will happen if you simply copy such text  
from Mathematica and paste it into the mailer, even after converting  
it to InputForm.
It seems to me that in such situations using Unicode is much simpler  
for everyone concerned than any other alternative.
