I don't read Russian, so I don't normally receive mail in Cyrillic. I am getting lots of spam with Cyrillic characters. Is there a way to have Maildrop delete such messages? I do not see any headers that indicate Cyrillic characters.

Is this header something that indicates probable spam? Content-Type: text/plain;charset="windows-1251"

In general no, windows-1251 is a valid charset as far as I know but if you don't read russian than yes, Russian emails are likely spam and can be discarded. I'd first write a rule that autofilters messages with that header to a subdirectory to make sure it works like you expect, after a few days/weeks of checking the rule out you could set it to just exit rule processing instead of delivering it to the subfolder.
