[Classpathx-discuss] Problems with MimeMessage.setSubject() and UTF8

[Øyvind Harboe]

MimeMessage.setSubject() appears to not handle the case where a string
contains only e.g. Japaneese characters.

The culprit appears to be in MimeUntility.encodeWord(). 

asciiStatus() returns 1 on the string I pass in to setSubject()...

If I delete the check, the encoding happens correctly.

  private static String encodeWord(String text, String charset, 
      String encoding, boolean word)
    throws UnsupportedEncodingException
  {
    if (asciiStatus(text.getBytes())==1)
      return text;
