Matt,
I think it's pretty clear that there is no one "correct" way to deal with
asian languages. Anyone knowing me would know that I don't read _any_
asian language, so it's silly to send me email using charset euc_kr,
iso-2022-kr, ks_c_5601-1987, big5, csbig5, etc. They'd also know that many
iso-8859 charsets are unknown to me - cyrillic, greek, hebrew, etc.
Given all those charsets that mean little to me, the only ones that appear
regularly happen to be euc_kr, iso-2022-kr, and ks_c_5601-1987. Some
people evidently neither know who I am, nor care what I can read. They
just send it.
Anyhow, I deal with the far east by using iptable rules to block some
address blocks and procmail recipes to redirect messages with certain
charsets to a "spam-unreadable" file.
If someone _is_ using bogofilter and the defaults are contrary to their
needs, they will let us know. We'll add options because we wish to support
all legitimate users.
