noack:  I get lots of spam mail with the characteristic that the text
noack:  (always in the subject field, sometimes even in the sender field,
noack:  and of course in the body as well) is written in the ISO 1022-jp code
noack:  set, rather than iso-8859-1 (which I assume/hope is the standard).
noack:
noack:  Since I never - in over 8 years - ever saw this code set (1022)
noack:  used in any serious mail to me, I would like to filter my incoming
noack:  mail for any that uses the iso 1022-jp code set in the subject field.
noack:
noack:  So I have 2 related questions:
noack:      (1) is there any argument against doing that?
noack:      (2) how do I set the filter accordingly ? I tried looking for the
noack:          sequence '[iso-1022-jp]'; but as I feared before even trying,
noack:          that didn't work.


You should be able to create a filter to search the AllText for
ISO-1022-jp.  Then act on it accordingly.

Failing that, Id recommend install/configuring Procmail or other email
filtering program.


Thanks
