(**wild conjecture** ;) Particularly given that most spam originates in the US, and the spammers happily try to use accented characters to bypass trivial blacklists, you guess that it has reasonable impact on the spam volume. Until spammers are the first to have their MTA fixed, even before the ecommerce sites such as ebay are fixed (I reported they were not using MIME and regularly getting trapped by spam filters years ago, literally, to no avail to date). -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
