Here is the code

MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

        InternetAddress addressTo[] = new InternetAddress[emsg.getRecipeants()
                .size()];
        int i = 0;
        try {
            for (String email : emsg.getRecipeants()) {
                InternetAddress address = new InternetAddress(email);
                addressTo[i] = address;
                log.info(acc.getSenderEmailID() + " sending mail To " + email);
            }

            msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
            if (emsg.getReplayTO() != null) {
                msg.setReplyTo(new InternetAddress[] { new InternetAddress(emsg
                        .getReplayTO()) });
            }
            String from = "";
            if (!acc.getAccoutName().equals("")) {
                from = acc.getAccoutName() + "<" + acc.getSenderEmailID() + ">";
            } else {
                from = acc.getSenderEmailID();
            }
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            // MultiPart body part

            Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

            // This is the message body content part

            MimeBodyPart messageContentPart = new MimeBodyPart();

            String content = processContent(emsg.content, multipart,
                    comapanyDBName);
            if (emsg.isPlain) {
                messageContentPart.setContent(content,
                        "text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
            } else {
                messageContentPart.setContent(content,
                        "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
            }
            multipart.addBodyPart(messageContentPart);

            // This is the template Attachment part
            if (emsg.getAttachment() != null) {
                for (File file : emsg.getAttachment()) {
                    MimeBodyPart messageAttachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                    messageAttachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

                    DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);

                    messageAttachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(
                            source));
                    messageAttachmentBodyPart.setFileName(file.getName());
                    multipart.addBodyPart(messageAttachmentBodyPart);
                }
            }

            // Put parts in message
            msg.setContent(multipart);

            // end

            // Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email
            // if
            // you
            // Want
            msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");

            // Setting the Subject and Content Type
            msg.setSubject(emsg.subject, "UTF-8");
            // msg.setSubject(emsg.subject);//text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
            // msg.setContent( map.getValue().getContent(), "text/html");
        } catch (AddressException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MessagingException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return msg;

Two possibilities.

First, are you sure that emsg.content contains non-munged data? If it's corrupt before you get to this code, you're already out of luck.

Second, if the content is fine, try using MimeBodyPart.setText() instead:

        if (emsg.isPlain) {
            messageContentPart.setText(content, "UTF-8", "plain");
        } else {
            messageContentPart.setText(content, "UTF-8", "html");
        }

I think that although your set content-type charset UTF-8 you do not write UTF8 stream. Are you using BufferedWriter? Check whether you pass correct charset to its constructor.
