For a partial solution :
:0:
* ^Content-Type:.*charset=(big5|ks_c_5601-1987)
junkfile
Though some messages don't mention a charset, and there are surely
others that SA's CHARSET_FARAWAY test would catch for you. The other
check SA does to catch this sort of junk is to look for characters
with the high-order bit set. No non-english language can represent
its entire alphabet using the US-ASCII charset.
