Oh, this seems rather easy. Here's what you have to do:
1. Login to your Gmail account from your desktop
2. On the right of the search box there's a link saying 'Create a
filter'. Click it.
3. Now, among the boxes there, there's one labelled 'Subject'. In that
box type '?' (no quote marks). For another language you'll probably want
a letter that is common in that language.
4. Test the filter by clicking on the appropriately named 'Test Search'
button.
5. It will probably find all the Tamil mail.
6. Click 'Next Step' button.
7. Select the 'Delete it' checkbox and any others that are appropriate.
8. Click the 'Create Filter' button.
You're done. If you want, you can use the OR and AND keywords to make a
more complicated and possibly more accurate filter (fortunately the
letter ? is common enough to make this unnecessary).
As for your other question, I'd rather not answer because I don't want
to get sucked into that discussion.
