JavaMail - Send plain HTML content without formatting












0















I want to send an email using JavaMail with HTML tags not formatted.



I use this code :



public void sendMail() throws MessagingException, IllegalStateException, IllegalArgumentException {

Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", "localhost");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

messageBodyPart.setContent("<h1>This is an HTML message</h1>", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8");

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

message.setContent(multipart);

message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("noreply@localhost.com"));

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("to@localhost.com"));

message.setSubject("HTML mail");

Transport.send(message);
}


I receive the email with formatted HTML :




This is an HTML message




But I want html plain text :




< h1>This is an HTML message< /h1>




Thanks for help !

  • What you have should work. Possibly your mail reader is guessing that you really meant text/html even though you said text/plain because the text looks like html text?
