Including StringBuffer object in my mail message

Question

I am getting text from the textarea of my jsp page
<textarea name="reason" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea>
StringBuffer comment = new StringBuffer(request.getParameter("reason"));
int loc = (new String(comment)).indexOf('\n');
while(loc > 0){
comment.replace(loc, loc+1, "<BR>");
loc = (new String(comment)).indexOf('\n');
I have save this in a StringBuffer object, comment. Now I want the comment to be the text of my mail message
msg.setText( comment );
When I compile this, I get the message
"SRSBean.java": Error #: 300 : method setText(java.lang.StringBuffer) not found in class javax.mail.Message at line 659, column 9
How can I include the text in the comment object in my mail ?
