That seems like a bad idea, given the diversity of location of KDE (and 
FLOSS in general) developers :-). OTOH, even M$O allows filtering by 
language; I'd be surprised if this isn't a common feature.

What I'd like is a filter that blocks HTML mail where the HTML content 
bears no relation whatsoever to the plaintext content. You know, those 
ones that are spam if you view the HTML, but the plaintext is something 
like "Jennifer flying pigs land twenty crater purple spandex..." ;-).

(Actually, for the longest time I wondered YTH people would send what 
was clearly randomly-generated text, and how it would possibly entice me 
to "bY VI 4 g R4!". Then I finally decided to view the source of one, 
and realized, to my disappointment, that the HTML was just boring spam, 
and the plaintext section was an independent hunk of randomly-generated 
text. I was hoping for some clever obfuscation, but alas.)
