Set content type. Look at this method.

message.setContent("<h1>Hello</h1>", "text/html");

If you are using Google app engine/Java, then use the following...

MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, "Admin"));

msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,

                 new InternetAddress(toAddress, "user");



msg.setSubject(subject,"UTF-8");



Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();

MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();

htmlPart.setContent(message, "text/html");

mp.addBodyPart(htmlPart);

msg.setContent(mp);

Transport.send(msg);

Take a look at http://commons.apache.org/email/ they have an HtmlEmail class that probably does exactly what you need.

you have to call

msg.saveChanges();

after setting content type.

Since JavaMail version 1.4, there is an overload of setText method that accepts the subtype.

// Passing null for second argument in order for the method to determine

// the actual charset on-the fly.

// If you know the charset, pass it. "utf-8" should be fine

msg.setText( message, null, "html" );

You can find a complete and very simple java class for sending emails using Google(gmail) account here,
Send email message using java application

It uses following properties

Properties props = new Properties();

  props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

  props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");

  props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");

  props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");

The "loginVo.htmlBody(messageBodyPart);" will contain the html formatted designed information, but in mail does not receive it.

I found this way not sure it works for all the CSS primitives

By setting the header property "Content-Type" to "text/html"

mimeMessage.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

now I can do stuff like

mimeMessage.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");



mimeMessage.setText ("`<html><body><h1 style ="color:blue;">My first Header<h1></body></html>`")
