You can simply type "Content-type" in the field where you can 
select "Subject", "From", "To", etc.

You could create a filter checking the "Content-type". The Content-type 
of your message contains "charset=us-ascii". Depending on your settings 
it might also contain "charset=utf-8" (or "charset=utf8"?). Legitimate 
messages you receive may be in many charsets. I think it's better to 
create a blacklist of charsets instead of a whitelist. To do so look at 
the source of some non-English spam and look for "charset=...".

Note that a filter checking the "Content-type" will not work for 
messages with attachments or messages with HTML and normal text part. 
So instead of checking the "Content-type" you might want to check the 
Complete Message for "charset=...".
