Not odd at all, actually. In some situations your e-mail came through as plain ASCII text (that's what I saw), which doesn't know from Greek. The Greek letter you typed was actually saved as a code corresponding to that character in the extended Unicode character set. Using only ASCII's 256 English character codes, the culpable program couldn't translate #959 etc into the corresponding Greek letters, so it simply printed what was there. Made for an excellent chuckle though! :-)
Meanwhile, assuming you were naming the dishes, can you give me English translations of whatever you wrote in Greek, to use on the website?
Thanks,
Merewyn
