Strong hint: If it's in a character set you cannot read, ditch it.
I've seen "from:" lines that use an alternate character set to
add accents and graves, etc. to the originator's name, yet the
body of the message was otherwise readable, and somewhat
informative.  The mail originated in Europe.  Throwing out all
unreadable from's, etc. may be just a little too Draconian.

The recipe I posted would only weed out stuff in the GB2312 character
set, which is only useful for writing Chinese AFAICT. Accented Latin-1
in RFC2047 encoding looks like =?iso-8859-1?Q?Thi=Df?= whereas GB2312,
well, you call look at the quoted stuff above.
