Why not just look at the SpamAssassin code? It is Free after all, right?

Looking at the 20_body_tests.cf rule-file:

  
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/20_body_tests.cf?view=markup

reveals a method called check_for_faraway_charset() in the module
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::MIMEEval:

  
http://search.cpan.org/src/JMASON/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/MIMEEval.pm

Reading that code reveals that your system locale is considered, for
instance.

You can do similar "detective work" for the other rules that involve
FARAWAY (20_head_tests.cf --> Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::HeaderEval
check_for_faraway_charset_in_headers) - then you needn't speculate nor
guess :-)
