     * Why we need 
     * org.bulbul.util.TranscodeUtil.transcodeThenEncodeByLocale()?
     *
   	 * Because we specify client browser's encoding to UTF-8, IE seems
     * to send all data encoded in UTF-8. That means the byte sequences 
     * we received are all UTF-8 bytes. However, strings read from HTTP
     * is ISO8859_1 encoded, that's we need to transcode them (usually
     * from ISO8859_1 to UTF-8.
     * Next we encode those strings using MimeUtility.encodeText() depending
     * on user's locale. Since MimeUtility.encodeText() is used to convert 
     * the strings into its transmission format, finally we can use the 
     * strings in the outgoing e-mail, then receiver's email agent is 
     * responsible for decoding the strings.
  	 *
  	 * As described in JavaMail document, MimeUtility.encodeText() conforms
  	 * to RFC2047 and as a result, we'll get strings like "=?Big5?B......".
	 * @param	sourceString			String to be encoded
	 * @param	sourceStringEncoding	The encoding to decode `sourceString' 
	 *									string. If `sourceStringEncoding'
	 *									is null, use JVM's default enconding.
	 * @param	Locale					prefered locale
	 *
	 * @return	empty string(prevent NullPointerException) if sourceString 
	 *			is null or empty(""); 
	 *			otherwise RFC2047 conformed string, eg, "=?Iso8859-1?Q....."
