spanish characters in subject line???

843830Jun 19 2003 — edited Feb 28 2005
Having quite a bit of problems making spanish characters appera in the subject lines (in outlook) of emails sent via JavaMail.

Messages are composed as Multipart messages. For example:

This (for the subject):

?Gracias por su trabajo valioso! Ahora mi trabajo es mas f?cil.

Is received and appears as (in Outlook's subject line):

=?Cp1252?Q?A1Gracias_por_su_trabajo_v?==?Cp1252?Q?alioso!_Ahora_mi_trabajo_es_mas_f=E1cil._?=

I've tried, in my opinion, everything setting the content types etc.

Note: I have HTML in the body (also containing spanish characters) of the multipart message. To solve that problem I had to set the content type to text/html... and make sure the charset wasn't utf-8, and that works for that part. It's just the subject line that's hosed. Ideas?

Is this a programming issue or a server issue setting?
