I've hedged my bets; I have several news readers!

I just killfiled him. Made him happy. His posts are useless
and OT.

will prefetch DNS and links and are a privacy breach.

What name did you use to put in your kill file? Everything that I've
tried hasn't worked.

The From: field uses a mechanism for carrying wider characters
and so your client would need to be able to handle that kind of value.

Filtering on the encoded value should not be neccessary, because -
assuming one's newsreader can 1) decode and 2) can handle UTF-8 - the
newsreader should filter on the decoded result.

In my newsreader - tin - I just filter on "Good Guy" (without quotes
and with a single space).

You could filter on "news.mixmin.net" :-)

Yes, and kill muliple 'birds' with a single stone!
