Sending mail but displaying the uncode in subject filed...some wht urgent

Question

Hi every one
and Thanx to every one...for giving their precious help for every one
Here i want to explain a small problem in java mail with unicode
Here it is ....
Iam sending a mail with some chinese characters in the subject field..internally these chineese characters are converting in to html unicode format like(主).
the code goes like this :
MimeMessage message =new MimeMesage();
String subject=主的电
message.setSubject(subject,"utf-8");
......remaining are setted properly i mean from ,to using InternetAddress
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setContent(content, "text/html");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
message.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send(message);
Now
It is sending mail to the receipents but in at the receiver side the mail's subject field contains unicode in stead of chinese characters....if i open and seen the viewsource from the page it is adding an extra &amp instead of &..i think it is not filtering th unicode ....here iam sending the mail to gmail...
I didn't understand where iam doing the mistake please give some idea how to do this .....and let know where iam doing worng programming ....
it s very urgent for me ...please
Thanx in advance ......

hi bshannon
i solved this problem .....i will explain what did here
here iam getting the string literal from the DB as NCR formated string
so i converted that string to unicode string ...(Ex: "&amp#220027;")
This method will converts the NCR fomated string to UnicodeString:
public static String NCR2UnicodeString(String str)
StringBuffer ostr = new StringBuffer();
int i1=0;
int i2=0;
while(i2<str.length())
i1 = str.indexOf("&#",i2);
if (i1 == -1 ) {
ostr.append(str.substring(i2, str.length()));
break ;
ostr.append(str.substring(i2, i1));
i2 = str.indexOf(";", i1);
if (i2 == -1 ) {
ostr.append(str.substring(i1, str.length()));
break ;
String tok = str.substring(i1+2, i2);
try {
int radix = 10 ;
if (tok.trim().charAt(0) == 'x') {
radix = 16 ;
tok = tok.substring(1,tok.length());
ostr.append((char) Integer.parseInt(tok, radix));
} catch (NumberFormatException exp) {
ostr.append('?') ;
i2++ ;
return new String(ostr) ;
from this method i will get a string the unicode ...and iam setting this string to subject
MimeMessage message =new MimeMessage();
message.setSubject("string from the above method","utf-8");
and remaing setting all are doing here
finally
Transport.send(message);
I hope you are also expained the same thing ...
and a lot thanx to you to solve my urgent problem...
Thanx
