Have to part company with you, Jay. ("What a surprise! I'm going to
have a HEART ATTACK from being surprised!")
It's not an English-only Internet, nor even a Roman alphabet one.
The list should not globally discriminate based on encoding. Filtering
is really the recipient's problem. Bogofilter has been remarkably
effective in screening spam, including the Spanish-language stuff that I
don't understand anyway. Though you aren't interested in a GNU/Linux
only solution, maybe you can find a MS-Windows Bayesian filter.

This is a *good* idea. ("What a surprise!...") If there is no such
option, there should be. But it has to be configurable per user; maybe
you can talk the listserv folks into implementing something like that.
