I am curious as to why the headers specify a Japanese charset to
tranfer Greek letters?
"Introduction
This document describes the encoding used in electronic mail [RFC822]
and network news [RFC1036] messages in several Japanese networks. It
was first specified by and used in JUNET [JUNET]. The encoding is now
also widely used in Japanese IP communities.
The name given to this encoding is "ISO-2022-JP", which is intended
to be used in the "charset" parameter field of MIME headers (see
[MIME1] and [MIME2])."
