It's a typical unhelpful, wise-ass answer to an honest question, but...

Change your browser and email client.

Opera has the best over-all Unicode support that I've found in the PC
world, and the mailer is fairly good, and very probably fully-enough
functioned for the average user (there may well be more functions that I
have yet to discover, too. It's only been a few weeks). The assignment of
fonts to combinations of script (Latin, Greek, etc) and style (Normal,
Fixed Width, etc) is very nice, especially since it's really good at
choosing default fonts for combinations you haven't set manually.
