I don't have a clue what it might be; it's not English, and I don't
know whatever language it may be in.
You don't recognise Greek?
I recognize most of those as Greek characters, but as I said, I don't
know Greek. And because I can't recognize words, I can't assume it
might not be some other language that uses the same glyphs.
I don't know Greek either, and I don't think there's any other language
that uses the Greek alphabet.
Does that string make any sense to you? You may want to try it on your
own machine, since the email may obscure the encoding. Or you might
want to do the decode using whatever the default encoding is for that
server.
The Linux 'file' utility thinks this string is in ISO-8859, so you might
want to try a decode('ISO-8859-1') as well. (and maybe ISO-8859-2, -3,
-4, and -5)
It's ISO-8859-7 (Greek).
