As My wife and I are learning Greek and corresponding with Greek
friends, we need to be able to type accented Greek characters in
Apple Mail.
Mail handles this by using "unicode" (I believe) and there is no
keyboard shortcut. However, I can copy and paste the required
accented characters from a web page like this:
http://www.satcure.net/tech/greek.html
Accented Alpha: ά
Accented Ita: ή
Accented Omega: ώ
Accented Ipsilon: ύ
Accented Epsilon: έ
Accented Omicron: ό
Accented Yiota: ί
(If you go View -> Message -> Raw Source
you can see the resultant unicode).
Question: Is there a way to write a script to put an accented
character into a Mail window at the current cursor position?
Maybe like this?
tell application "Mail" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Mail"
keystroke "X"
end tell
end tell

Sorry, not an AppleScript solution, but can you get what you need from
the Character Palette?
System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu -> Enable Character
Palette
View: All Characters -> by Category -> European Scripts -> Greek
Add the characters you want to your favorites
