EUDORA SPAM FILTER
Detecting Asian Character Sets

 

This filter finds the following character sets:

Korean: Chinese:         Japanese:
  • euc-kr
  • ks_c_5601-1987        
  • iso-2022-kr
  • big5          
  • iso-2022-jp

I don't currently use this filter, but present it to show how it can be done

This filter will detect arriving email that uses any of the five checked-for Asian character sets. Other character sets can be added as needed.  I don't read these  languages, and I don't wish to be bothered with their pesky spam.
