[R] Math symbols in email - not completely OT

[Jan_Svatos@eurotel.cz]

I prefer (La)TeX keywords/commands, probably without the $ sign,
like \equiv, \delta, etc... in mails/conferences dealing with
math, stat, TeX, and GNU/Linux.

Subject: [R] Math symbols in email - not completely OT

What is the generally accepted way to put certain math symbols into plain
text email?

For example, how does one convey the "is exactly equal to", "is
approximately equal to", and "delta" symbols in a standard text-based (e.g.
Courier) font?
