Korean spam typically has a line in the mail header such as
the following:
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ks_c_5601-1987"
That indicates the message is using the Korean character set.
I have found this to be an excellent indicator of spam, for anyone
who doesn't expect mail in Korean :-). Killing messages based on
the appearance of that line in the header should do little harm.
Note it infrequently appears without the quotes, as:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ks_c_5601-1987
I also treat similarly any charset of "euc-kr" or "gb2312".
