I'd still be wary of deleting mail just because it has a "foreign"
character in it. Imagine someone sends you an email you are really
interested in, in English, but with one of those corporate "don't sue
us" footers (or any other _additional_ text) which happens to contain
foreign characters.
If your problem is particular spam messages, then why not filter on
specific words or phrases which occur in many of them. The filter
mechanism doesn't care which language it's filter patterns are
written in.
