MCP Error message

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Your best bet is to read "man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" as that explains
what is valid and what is not. Also, take a look at your default
SpamAssassin rules, they will show you what you can do.
