setText() with text/html contentType

HI,

I'm trying to send an e-mail with a contentType of "text/html". I'm able use the addHeader() method to set the contentType successfully, but when I try and set the body of text, the setText() method defaults the contentType to "text/plain". How do you set the body of text for an e-mail message with a different contentType? (Another method, etc...)

Duke dollars guarenteed to a successfull answer.

Thanks,

ddwb

Yes. javax.mail.internet.MimePart.setText() will reset the MIME type to "text/plain"

I have done setting of HTML message body(including proper MIME type i.e. "text/html") this way...

theMessage.setDataHandler(new javax.activation.DataHandler(new HTMLDataSource("mail body")))

where theMessage is your message object and HTMLDataSource is our own class. Here is the code for it...

import java.io.*;

public class HTMLDataSource implements javax.activation.DataSource

{

private String body;

public HTMLDataSource(String body)

{

this.body = body;

}

public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException

{

return new ByteArrayInputStream(body.getBytes());

}

public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException

{

throw new IOException("not supported");

}

public String getContentType() {

return("text/html");

}

public String getName()

{

return("haha");

}

}
