When I used muttprint (with print to file, for checking) on a mail
with δ and ε characters, these characters were silently missing
from the generated .ps file.

With debug output, I can see errors:

! Undefined control sequence.
\u-default-949 #1->\textepsilon

! Undefined control sequence.
\u-default-948 #1->\textdelta

I think that the easiest solution would be to use xelatex and
a font that the required characters (DejaVu Sans Mono seems one
of the most complete fonts).

I've attached a patch that does this (mainly for testing), but
I haven't tried in non-UTF8 locales (I suppose that the input
should be converted to UTF8 or \XeTeXinputencoding should be
used) and the font is hardcoded in the patch.
