gmail spam filter sux

i use gmail as a shell for a free spam filter basically.  (why don't you use hotmail tim?)  well, if passport wasn't in the way and i didn't feel like i was logging in to 3 different sites because i got bounced around to 4 different pages, then i might use it more (the new hotmail UI is nice).

i digress...

gmail spam filter is pretty good.  it catches most everything.  the weird thing is i'm curious why it catches everything but RUSSIAN email.  seriously...it figures out when some is trying to send me some funky ad for male enlargements with mis-spelled words so it can 'trick' the system, but when i get mail with russian all over it, it keeps it in my inbox.

gmail -- take a lesson from outlook -- let me define junk mail by language/locale...
