I agree with you. But I found that bogofilter is very good in finding spam mails
even if it is text from books or worse: apparently meaningful text regarding C++
programming and FireWire issues. bogofilter found this spam immediatly while I
needed to read the text twice.
At least I have no idea how to get rid of the not translateable Asian spam.

You should train them as ham, this works fine (bogofilter -n). If these "ticket
reminders" are not wanted, you may use a .procmailrc for filtering them to
/dev/null.
