Hi folks,

I received an answer on linux.debian.user, and the sender had typeset
its Greek name in Greek. It results in lots of small squares in Gnus,
at the place of its name.

Is there some LISP code which could help displaying this?
If so, what can I do?

Thanks.

(P.S.: Yes, I am still using the old, deprecated, etc., Mailcrypt: I
did not have time to use something else, but I kept all your tips.)

You do not need Lisp code. What you need is a font which can display the
Greek characters. This is an Emacs issue not a gnus one. From gnus press
C-i m emacs↲ m international↲
