That's true for legitimate mail, but spam is very similiar
for all people. I do get spam in Chinese although I can't
read a single glyph of it.

It should not be too hard for a large project to have one person
per mailing list to find hundreds of legitimate mails, which would
add up to thousands of mails. That should result in good filtering,
at least it does for me.
But as Marco d'Itri pointed out, bayesian filtering is not an option
due to CPU limitation.
