Instead of

msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");

I would write

Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(message, "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7");
mp.addBodyPart(mbp);

msg.setContent(mp);

I guessed ISO-8859-7 from your name because this charset is for Greek, but maybe you can choose it more properly. Or maybe also UTF-8 works for your case.
