I'm trying to do a filter to get rid of messages with non-English
characters.

I set up a filter called non-English characters and then tried a rule
which put Á | Ä in the Strings box and filtered for Presence Anywhere
and told it to put the email in my Spam mailbox.  That didn't work.

I then tried enclosing them in quotes but that didn't
work.

I then did it through the Alternatives tab and pub the first character
in the first set and the second character in the second set and it
still didn't work.

This last one filtered out two English messages which I examined
looking at the full headers. Neither one of the messages filtered out
contained either of the characters I was filtering for anywhere.
Meanwhile several emails WITH those specific non-English characters
were not filtered.

I'm clearly doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is.
Between the possibilities for using special characters in signal
strings and using Regular Expressions, I find the Help on this rather
confusing.

If I use pipes for an "or" condition, should there or should there not
be spaces before and after the characters I want to use for the
filter? Should there be quotes around the characters I want to use for
the filter?
