How do I block all e-mail that contain special characters?

As a brute-force method of getting rid of spam, how can I set up Outlook
Express to delete all e-mail messages that contain ANY special characters? I
don't need the whole host of foreign characters, symbols, bracket/curly
brackets, and the like.

When I've attempted to set up a rule to exclude a character, it doesn't seem
to work...

thanks,

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
