I found this in one of the forums dont remember which, here is the code
  public boolean EmailForm( java.lang.String pernr, java.lang.String toEmail, java.lang.String fromEmail )
    //@@begin EmailForm()
boolean flag = true;
   try {
    String host = "exchangerelay.yourserver.com";
    //    Get system properties
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
    //    Setup mail server
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
    //    Get session
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance (props, null);
    //    Define message
    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
    byte[] b = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource();  
   //Attachment
    ByteArrayInputStream ba = new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
    String filename ="Filename.pdf";
    //This will create a file on the server under folder "server0"
   File file = new File(filename);  
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
    int i = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
     fos.write(b<i>);
    fos.close();  
    DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);
    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromEmail));
    message.addRecipient(
     Message.RecipientType.TO,
     new InternetAddress(toEmail));
    message.setSubject ("Subject : ");
    message.setText(
     "This is a confirmation receipt.");
    Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
    messageBodyPart.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
    messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
    message.setContent(multipart);
    Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
    transport.connect(host, "username", "password");
    transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
    transport.close();  
    flag = true;
    //delete file if you want to here
    file.delete();
   } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    flag = false;
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
     "FileNotFoundException : " + e.getMessage(),
     false);
   } catch (IOException e) {
    flag = false;
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager ().reportException(
     "IOException : " + e.getMessage(),
     false);
   } catch (MessagingException e) {
    flag = false;
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
     "MessagingException : " + e.getMessage(),
     false);
   return flag;
    //@@end
thanks,
