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

People have been unsubscribed before, for reasons that no one ever had the guts to

The right thing to do is to accept these messages and discard them, rather

Not on this list. If I do it, I'll admit to it. Generally it is bounces
or out of office messages. I've never done

Which is likely to cause a bounce message to be sent to somebody, no?
I would argue that sending traffic in a character set that almost
nobody can display properly is just

Yes. Specifically, I have the following in my /etc/postfix/header_checks
I don't generate bounces; I reject them during the SMTP transaction.
Which ultimately generates a bounce when the sending system times out
the retry interval on a completely legitimate, deliverable message. Not
good for connectivity or interoperability.

not contain any non-ASCII chars. I'm not sure about mozilla.
But I think
it doesn't. Anyway, I believe that non of the MS mailers do.
The MS mailers switch to a weird (and visually ugly) UTF-8 font that has

Harry, is it possible to have the MTA, check the character set setting
for the messages, and reset the specific ones back to the normal
settings? How? I don't know.
You could recode it in the MTA, but to what? US ASCII doesn't have
enough code points to handle Mandarin, and you would
