To pick a minor nit, they are both perfectly valid standards. But if you don't want to receive e-mail in Japanese, you can safely discard them. > Since I never - in over 8 years - ever saw this code set (1022) > used in any serious mail to me, I would like to filter my incoming > mail for any that uses the iso 1022-jp code set in the subject field. > > So I have 2 related questions: > (1) is there any argument against doing that? > (2) how do I set the filter accordingly ?

For value, add "charset=ISO-2022-JP". Season to taste. Before using rules to file them away to a spam filter, I would recommend to start with an indexcolor rule so that you get familiar and comfortable with the rule syntax first. _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
