reading/writing Greek in Evolution (on English system)

[David Carson <dccarson yahoo com>]

This question can probably apply to other
non-Latin-alphabet languages as well.

I have the following setup:
- Mandrake 8.2
- US English is primary language
- asked for Greek as second language during install
- Evolution 1.0.5 (only thing I've upgraded since
Mandrake installation)

I regularly read and write Greek correspondence, but
my primary language setup is English.

1. How do I read Greek messages?  I have tried
changing the encoding, but the message simply changes
from one kind of jibberish to another!  I expect my
fonts are to blame, but I don't know how to change
them in Evolution.

2. How do I switch keyboard layout, so that I can
write in Greek (using 8859-7, I assume) or a mixture
of Greek and English?

Any more general pointers or references to HOWTOs on
this subject are also welcome.  Right now, Evolution
is the only thing I have to get working.

Thanks,
David
