Thank you for understanding.

Unfortunately this does not work as I stated in the initial message 
because most messages are multipart/related/alternative/mixed and the 
parts encoded as Big5 are internal.

I tried making Mozilla look for big5 in the Body and it seems to be 
working so far.

This is odd because big5 is actually the charset specified in the 
content-type header of an internal message part, but Mozilla seems to 
treat the headers of internal parts as body text.

As long as it works for my spam filtering it is ok for me, but I wonder 
if it was really intended.
