Yes, I knew about the ISO charset, remember I'm the one that wrote some 
PHP to send an email reply in Japanese.

That was the basic idea

:0
* ^Subject:.*=?[^?]+?q
! ^Subject:.*=[89a-f][0-9a-f]

More or less what I did but I'll go back and look at the results. I'm 
targeting 8859-1 because that's the one I see. Latin 1 I think.

No, but every time someone is hired I have to send out the little
warning to everyone about subscribing to online dating mailings on your
company account etc. Let's face it, with non-guessable addresses, there
is only one other way they could get spam and that is if a virus came 
out whose goal was to sign you up. Wait a sec, that'd be a great concept 
if I ever move over to the other dark side!
