1. You'll need to format your message using HTML in order to include any
sort of styling and images in a message. This probably isn't a good idea
since not all people have HTML aware mail clients. If you do do this, you'll
have to use message.setContent( htmlString, "text/html" ) instead of the
setText method which sets the content type to "text/plain".

2. Just include "\r\n" in your string wherever you want a carriage
return/line feed pair.

3 and 4. The string can be as complex as it needs to be. It doesn't have to
be a single line of text the way in which we normally think of strings. Your
users can enter their own HTML tags into a textarea on a form, for example,
although the practicality of that escapes me. Plain text should be enough
for most purposes.

Hope this helps,
Jason Diamond.

but I want to set the body of mail in HTML format.
1. How do I send the images in body of mail.
2. How do I enter the Carriage Control, Line feed characters.
3. Basically I have to format the body of mails.
4. Right now I am able to send only the strings.

I you can please put your comments in and tell me where to ammend the
code.

I am using following code...

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.net.*;

public class MailSend extends HttpServlet{

	protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                         HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException
	{
 			String fromg="manuj@h...";
	   	String tog="ajay@c...,manuj_syal@h...";
			String subg="java SendMail ser example";
			String messageg="body to be entered here.";
	try{
	   	MailSending(fromg,tog,subg,messageg);
   	}catch(UnknownHostException ue){System.out.println(ue);}
		catch(MessagingException me){System.out.println(me);}
}

	public void MailSending(String from1,String to1,String subject1,String
message1) throws MessagingException, IOException{

			String to=to1;
			String from=from1;
			String sub=subject1;
			String msg=message1;
			String smtpHost="192.168.0.151";
			Properties properties=System.getProperties();
	    Session session=Session.getInstance(properties,null);
	   	MimeMessage message=new MimeMessage(session);
			message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from)) ;
			InternetAddress[] tos 
      InternetAddress.parse((String)(to));
      message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,tos);
  		message.setSubject(sub);
			message.setText(msg);
	    Transport transport=session.getTransport("smtp");
	    transport.connect(smtpHost,"","");
	    transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
	    transport.close();
	    }
}


Thanks And Regards,
Ajay
