I'm not familiar with emaxima, so I can't help there.

What version of maxima are you running. The current CVS version does
this:
tex(abc123) -> $$abc_{123}$$

A quick look through src/mactex.lisp says these lowercase variables
are converted to lowercase TeX Greek characters:
alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa mu nu xi
pi rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psi omega
I can't remember if this is all of the Greek letters or not. The
following uppercase variables are converted to uppercase Greek
characters:
Gamma Delta Theta Lambda Xi Pi Sigma Upsilon Phi Psi Omega
I think all the other uppercase letters are the same as the uppercase
Roman letters, so nothing special is done for them.
