By non-English, I meant in a human language other than English.

I *am* opposed to receiving an email entirely in French (a language which I can read fairly well) on debian-devel. While French is a fine language (one which I intend to be fluent in someday), French-only posts to debian-devel are (a) not on-topic and (b) very likely spam. Maybe an easier solution is non-Latin text, which would at least eliminate Cyrillic and CJK spam. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
