You can encode and set subject header explicitly:

message.setHeader("Subject", MimeUtility.encodeText("Тема.", "utf-8", "B"));

Result:

Subject: =?utf-8?B?0uXs4C4=?=

But notice, that if your subject has only ASCII characters, it will NOT be encoded.

message.setHeader("Subject", MimeUtility.encodeText("Subject.", "utf-8", "B"));

Result:

Subject: Subject.
