How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?

Question

Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.
code
try
               {               String s1="";
                              File f1 = new File(the path);
                              FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(f1); //new
                              BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
                              int count=0;
                              while((s1=br.readLine())!=null )
                                             count++;
                                             //out.println("within while loop "+count);
                                             StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s1,",");
                                             if ((st.hasMoreTokens())&&(count>1))
                                        String a=st.nextToken().trim();
                                             String b=st.nextToken();

}catch(Exception e)
                    // If here, then error in sending Mail. Display Error message.
                    result="Unable to send your message";
                    out.println("e="+e);
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards.

<p>
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp1.setText("Your Messages");
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource("Your Attachments");
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp2.setFileName(fds.getName());
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
msg.setContent(mp);
msg.saveChanges();
msg.writeTo(System.out);
msg.setSubject(subject);
Transport.send(msg);
