chinese letters in them??? I'm sure they come with virus' which my virus

For Blank Subject:
Box 1 - Where the Subject line contains specific words
Box 2 - Delete it from server
Box 3 - Click on the blue "Contains specific words" and Add *one at a time*
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and the entire alphabet, also one at a time.
Click: Options and change to: Does not contain....

But these aren't normal numbers or letters - they look like they are
chinese? is there a way to block these?

Bruce's message rule will disallow any mail that doesn't contain the letters
and numbers in the english alphabet.

Note the rule. If the subject line *Does not contain*. With this rule, if a
subject line does not have at least one number, or letter of the English
alphabet, it will be deleted from the server.
You could also make a rule:
Where the Subject line contains
Delete it from server
Then, look for repeating (common) Chinese characters and copy/paste them
into the rule *one at a time*.
