sorry for the typo.

P.S. is there any particular reason why you reject EUC_CN emails? As far
as I know (from my own experience) few spam email is in EUC_CN, besides,
Apple Macintosh in Chinese version by default send email in EUC_CN. Is
EUC_CN rejected simply because it's an equivalent of GB2312? Then
probably you want all Chinese messages blocked, spam or not. Most
Chinese mainland spam say they are in GB2312 only.

Besides, I don't have any good feeling with EUC_CN too.
