In theory this could be done, but it would be a tricky gadget - probably best done as something programatic... There are a lot of opportunities for false positives. I will think about this... Then again - why not simply block on anything that says charset= ? If it's plain old ascii, then there's no need for charset. (Lots of FPs with this, but then I would never use a filter like that... It might be very close to what you are looking for. The other way to do it would be to build patterns that match all of the known character sets -- or at least the majority.
