Encoding in headers of mail messages uses a different scheme to HTML. I
believe the specification you want is RFC 1342 "Representation of Non-ASCII
Text in Internet Message Headers" (http://rfc.net/rfc1342.html)

You'll likely have to decode the subject's HTML entity references and recode
them as above.
