I'm not sure, but it seems safest in this case.  I would prefer to set up
SpamAssassin to catch "foreign" charsets on a case-by-case basis, for
this, as I don't know much about the "windows" charsets.

BTW the definition of a "foreign" charset to SpamAssassin is as
follows:

  - contains mainly non-ASCII characters  (so ISO-8859-* are not
    "foreign" by this defn)

  - is used by spammers.  So big5 is very prominent in this case, but
    I'm not sure about koi8-r or many of the others...

So if anyone has spam in unusual charsets, esp. "windows-nnn", that would
be worth noting.
