I don't read the non-default character sets, so some foreign
language stuff shows up as question marks.

The comp.soft-sys.stat.spss group is bombarded this week
with spam, a dozen or so a day. (I still check the group, though
real posts are rare.

I read some previous posts here and thought I had a solution by
marking READ (so I don't see it) everything with ?'s in the Subject,
which all of these have.

Checking on posts thus marked READ, I see that EVERY post was
marked read. (The additional posts are also spam, but in English
selling something.)

Here is the start of one post.

The filter I set up is

Subject:{/?/?/?/?}

I thought that the / would quote the special character.

I didn't know if that should detect 4 consecutive or 4 in all.
Apparently it detects every post

What did I miss?

You need to use \ not / here.

See the help file page "Regular Expressions Reference"

Rules for Writing Regular Expressions
...
* The \ (backslash) character, followed by any character. You can
use backslash to "quote" characters that otherwise have special
meaning. For example, to match the literal character ".", you
would write "\.". Without the backslash, the "." would match any
character, not just ".".
