Problem with "contact the owner" email send in Greek

Hi! I installed classipress last week and I am still in the setting up and testing phase. I have modified the theme with messages in my native language( Greek) and everyting looks fine but there is a serious problem with "contact the owner" email send by a person interested in a classidied. As the title of the post is in greek when "contact the owner" email arrives, at the email inbox of the owner, it is displayed in chinese like characters. I modified the single page.php with a utf-8 charset and it shows a bit better "Re: ???????? ???????????? ?". This (boxes instead of letters)is still not acceptable... Is there something I can do to make characters, send by contact form, display properly in the email message. I would really appreciate any help on this issue.

Thanks for the reply (just saw this)! I tried it (replacing mail with wp_mail ) and didn't work. I still get all the funny characters in the tile when the "contact the owner" mail arrives at inbox ( everything else is fine). I also installed the new version of classipress in case this fixes the language problem in the mail. In the new version though the mail never arrives!!! So I reverted to my old version of classipress. I would appreciate your feedback on what might be causing this problem in the new version.

Update: I changed in the classipress version 2.9.3 in single.php the wp_mail to mail and it now sends the message to the recipient but the problem, with the title's weird characters in the mail inbox , still persists
