I call it odd character stuff because that's about the only real name I can think of for it. I've gotten a lot of emails lately (even before I upgraded) with subject lines like this:

        ðÏÌuÇÒÁÆuÑ Ë ÐpÁÚÄÎÉËÁÍ u Äp. ÓoÂÙÔÉÑÍ ÏÅÇ

In other words it's garbled text that I'm guessing is supposed to be from another language. How would I catch this and stop it from coming in? Is there a rule that might take care of this? Or would this be something I'd have to bounce off the spam assassin guys? Any pointers are welcome.


I stored this snippet a while back. My notes say it was from http://www3.sympatico.ca/walter.dnes/email/chinese/index.html but that link doesn't seem to work now. This example reads the body but it might be a start for you. I take no credit or blame. :-)
