[Mailman-Users] Still having trouble with an email filter vis-a-vis Chinese crap.

In my mailman Privacy options/Spam filters/Regexps my expression:
^Subject: =\?utf-8\?B\?
does NOT appear to work to discard all posts with that expression in the subject line.
That traffic always contains this:
Subject =?utf-8?B?
before all the following garbage.
Sometimes that expression beginning with = is contained multiple times in the traffic I want
to discard.
As you can see above, I have escaped all the ? characters.
Is there something further I need to do to make this work as it should?
Obviously, I am still doing something wrong, but I can't see it.
I thought the escape character was the \, but maybe it is a / . ?
What?
I am, presently, not all that happy, although I have cut down the Chinese garbage by about
90% since I implemented other filters. There remains the 10% which is still very annoying.
