I am getting a ton of mail in outlook express with the subject full of weird characters...When I open up these mails(well,I don't anymore)it is Japanese text or whatever you call it.I want to not recieve these mails anymore.I am unsure how I got in that mailing list,but I guess everyone wonders the same.
My question is:is there a message rule I can apply to prevent this?I could apply the rule"do not recieve any mail with those characters in the subject line,but I am unsure how to create those characters.I know there is a way,but I would like to know a easier way to avoid this,if any.
txh for any help..

I get those too. No idea what it is all about. Mine all mention a web site in English text, so I put that in a rule. Works fine. Peter Meachem

If the messages are coming from the same domain I would set up a rule to delete any message from that domain. I also find that using the their international code (i.e. .cz, .jp, .ro, etc....) helps to delete this mail. Most spammers seem to be using a non US domain name to send spam. joegz
