Decoding-problems on subject

Question

Hello all,
as far as I observed javamail does an automatic decoding of an eMail-subject for me. So a
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?B?QW1hem9uLmRl?=
automaticly becomes
Subject: Amazon.de
Now I get a message with the subject:
Subject: openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= =?UTF-8?Q?Sie=20als=20Kontakt=20best?==?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?=
which will not be decoded by javamail. I tried to work around the problem and forced my application to decode the subject one more time - no result:
System.out.println(MimeUtility.decodeText("openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= Sie als Kontakt best=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?="));
-> openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= Sie als Kontakt best=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?=
Then I thought the string would be the problem, but Thunderbird decodes the subject right!??
Any sugestions? Thanks a lot in advance!
Stephan

First of all,i want to show you my code:
package orlab.test;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class Program {
* @param args
* @throws Exception
* @throws
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.setProperty("mail.mime.decodetext.strict", "false");
File dir = new File("c:/Mail");
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length && i < 4; i++) {
File f = files;
if (!f.isFile()) {
continue;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
MimeMessage mm = new MimeMessage(null, fis);
String rowHeader = mm.getHeader("Subject")[0];
// System.out.println(MimeUtility.decodeText(mm.getSubject()));
if (!rowHeader.equals(mm.getSubject())) {
// continue;
System.out.println("File\t\t:" + f.getName());
System.out.println("Raw\t\t:" + rowHeader);
System.out.println("Subject\t\t:" + mm.getSubject());
fis.close();
System.out.println("_______________");
the raw mail data like this:
_*Message-ID: <[email protected]>*_
_*Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 19:06:47 +0900 (JST)*_
_*Subject: SOME=?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCTU0wRjdvJUElJyVDJS8lNyE8JUgbKEI=?=*_
this is the code which can decode "SOME=?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCTU0wRjdvJUElJyVDJS8lNyE8JUgbKEI=?=
"to"SOME&#27096;&#26696;&#20214;&#12481;&#12455;&#12483;&#12463;&#12471;&#12540;&#12488;
", when i using gnu javamail.
