I was talking about *majority* of *typical* cases. The cases you are mentioning are exceptions that recipients know about :) A person that learns Chinese, or is of Chinese origin, would obviously not want to filter out emails in Chinese language. But a *typical* European user, who has no connection to China - like me - would. I speak Polish, English, German and Russian. I don't know any other languages, so for myself theoretically I could filter out emails in all other languages (if I would receive them, of course - actually I don't, except a lot of Asian languages spam some time ago), as I can't read them anyway :) Filtering should be always adjustable per-user, not enforced equally on all users. Someone may be even interested in obvious spam from bots etc., for research purposes. > I have yet to > encounter a filtering strategy (with the possible exemption of the > "null-filter") that is guaranteed to create no false positives. No such thing exists. > You need a working process for dealing with false positives. Obviously, that's why I said filtering must be adjustable (and adjusted) per user. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
