You're getting mails encoded in Japanese, as it looks like someone
subscribed a japanese language mailing list to linux-kernel, or
similar.

If you use procmail the following is what I use for catching vger
lists, with a couple of new additions for the latest crop of mail:

# Linux mailing lists at vger
:0
* ^Sender: owner-linux.*@vger\.rutgers\.edu
{
# Anti-spam filter. Catches most things without the right headers
:0
* ! ^(((To|Cc):)|( )).*linux.*@vger\.rutgers\
/dev/null

# Never-ending off-topic thread filter
:0:
* ^Subject:.*GNU/Linux
.linux-junk

# Character set encoding filters.
:0
* ^Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
/dev/null

:0
* Subject.*ISO-2022-JP
/dev/null

# Specific mailing lists at vger...
:0:
* ^Sender: owner-linux-kernel@vger\.rutgers\.edu
.linux-kernel

.linux-x11

}
