I figure that if they have any of those > characters in the subject line they are foreign anyway..? No, even Americans know what � means (well, some of them do, and they are highly paid). Most spam that arrives in my inbox comes from the US anyway. I am vehemently against saying that all messages with certain Far Eastern character sets or TLD's must be spam. When I still lived in Taiwan, we had a member on this list who frequently missed my messages, because he deleted all incoming mail with TLD .tw and it took a while until the mystery of the missing postings was solved. Anyway, I am veering off-topic, so let's continue there. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat!
