How can I set up a message rule to delete any messages that are not written
in English, since anything else would not be understood by me.

TIA...................Al

You can't do that exactly, but can come close.

I've found this Outlook Express Message Rule fairly effective with Asian
spam

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains 'ä' or '±' or '¥' or 'À' or 'Ç' or '¤'
or 'Æ' or 'Á' or 'Ò' or '¶' or '¯' or 'ª'
Delete it
and Stop processing more rules

If it misses a message, I copy/paste another unique character from the
subject into the rule. That characters have to be added one at a time.

You can also add accented characters from European languages, such as Ñ
