If feasible, could you sign up to a different news feed - like the
Berlin service? I almost never see any Arabic here! They do filter very
effectively.

None on Eternal September either. Filtering isn't normally that great but
for a free service it's not bad.

What arabic posts? What spam?

news.individual.net is your friend, costs but only 10 euro/year. Well
worth it for the very effective filtering.

Indeed. Even Teranews which is a one time fee of $5 for the text groups
honours the third party cancels that hunt down such dross. I only ever
see them if I happen to download news between the spammer sending them
and the auto cancels catching up with the dross.

If you are able to do it set your kill file to reject out of hand
anything containing "Subject: =?windows-1256?"

(without the quotes) essentially "is using arabic character set".

biggest issue is remembering your password once every two years when you
have to log back in and amend your payment method because the card expired

I think you should have a work with the manufacturer asking why it
doesn't automatically translate for you?

If you use news.individual.net as your news server,
those are filtered at the server so you never see them.

Its not free but costs peanuts, 10 euros a year.

See if your news reader will block based on the header contents.

The arabic one contains "charset=windows-1256"

barely understandable 'death to the infidels' quotes

*******s. This topic reminded me of that irritating Crazy Frog
ringtone that was inflicted by many on many more back in the
1990's,it's become an earworm.
