Strange junk mails

Over the past month or so I've been receiving 5-6 e-mails a week in what
appears to be Cyrillic characters. I'm curious if this is unusual for
two reasons - am I the only one getting them and is it odd that my
newsreader is properly displaying the typeface?

Any comments welcomed.

I've had spam in almost all character sets except hindi. My solution has
been to block the hell out of all asian character sets. So, no, it's not
unusual. Wether or not it's unusual that your unknow application
displays it, I can't tell you.

Dont download them. Delete them from the server.
