    My system currently uses html escapes to send email text in any language -
    most recently Chinese. But this approach doesn't work for email subjects.
    When I attempt to simply send the subject using:

     

    msg.setSubject(subjectStringInUnicode, "ISO-8859-1");

     

    This should work, but I've also tried "big5".

     

    Sometimes I get an exception that the data cannot be encoded, and other
    times it just seems corrupt. Is there some kind of trick to this that
    someone can share?
