I am retrieving attachments in emails using JavaMail APIs. However, if the attachment filename has multi-byte characters in it, i get ??? or something like "=?utf-8?B?5byM5L6I5YaJLmRvYw==?=".

I tried-
1. String filename = part.getFileName()
2. String filename = MimeUtility.decodeText(part.getFileName());
3. Setting the system property: System.setProperty("mail.mime.decodefilename", "true");

But none of the methods return correct attachmnet name with japanese characters. Please help.
