Jay,

It's possible that you are the innocent victim of one of those worms 
loose in the world these days (Klez, Sobig, Naith or Lirva).  They 
randomly pick a message, attach you as the "to", and some other 
random name as the "from", and confuse the heck out of everyone.  I 
didn't receive those you mentioned.

 Those character sets are for Chinese and Korean, languages I (and, I
 suspect most folks on this list) can't even display correctly, much
 less read. (I read mail on several different systems, not all of
 them Linux, so a Linux solution to the display problem won't help.)
 I don't believe people should be sending mail to the list in those
 character sets, and I do not believe the list should be passing them
 through to users. Is there a Listserv option to disable those
 messages?
