That's the only drawback with that type of filter is that while it is
very effective, it has no middle ground.  Filtering on language encoding
is all or nothing.  For those of us who get no legit mail in those
encodings, it's great.

Of course, we did notice that some spammers started sending the stuff
with no encoding, so it would leak through.  Strikes me as stupid to
force it down the throat of a place that's blocking it, but there
you go.
