OK, 1 step further...
I see that the subject is encoded in windows-1251, which is either Russian
or Macedonian character set.
I'm not sure there is any way to test the encoding of the subject line - you
could try 'subject contains "windows-1251", but I think that's an outside
chance.
The message itself is labelled as 'multi-part/related', indicating that
there is likely to be an HTML part and an alternative plain text part.
Unfortunately, your headers didn't post the content type header for either
of these parts! They are likely to be 1251 as well, but could, in theory, be
different.
Look at those headers for the encoding set, and then set up a filter to look
for 'any header' contains 'windows-1251' (or whatever the relevant encoding
scheme is).
