Sender ID "????"

I am getting quite a few emails that the senders ID is shown as some combination of question marks, and they are all spam. Is Outlook 2007 doing this to foreign ID's? So far I have not been able to create a rule to send them to junk, nor does my security software stop them. Suggestions please?
 
When you look at the headers for one of the messages, do the ? still appear in there? I suspect they will.

Plan for performance, and capacity takes care of itself. Plan for capacity, and suffer poor performance.
 
If I open the message, the sender (in this particular case) is shown as:

"???? ????????????" [qisdri@boxlight.com]

In the header, it is shown as:

From: =?koi8-r?B?IuDSycog98zBxMnNydLP18neIg==?=
<qisdri@boxlight.com>

Does this info help? There are so many variations of this that it seems difficult to trap each one.

Here is a snipet of typical content:
