japanese character as junk

[prat narang]

Hi All,
I am trying to send japanese character in mail. But the recieved mail contains the junk character rather than japanese. The code is

 
import java.io.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
    
    public class SendApp {
        public static void send(String smtpHost, int smtpPort,
                                String from, String to,
                                String subject)
                throws AddressException, MessagingException {
            
// Create a mail session
            java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", ""+smtpPort);
 
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    
            // Construct the message
            MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
            msg.setSubject(subject);
            
            String s = "これは日本の特性のためのテストである";   
            String out = "";
            try {
            byte[] b =  s.getBytes("UTF-16");
out = new String(b, "UTF-16") ;
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
System.out.println("\n\n --->"+e.toString());
}
        
            
        //msg.setText(s);
        
        msg.setContent(out, "text/html; charset=UTF-16");
 
        msg.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");
    
            // Send the message
            Transport.send(msg);
        }
    
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            // Send a test message
            send("mail server", 25, "sender", "receiver",
                 "subject");
        }
    }

I'm not a Javamail user, so this may not help, but did you try to use MimeUtility.encodeText ?
