Problem with span style in javamail if html is created using ms word.

Question

I am using microsoft word to create the html which acts as a html template.
Following code gets created for image part in html.
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=390 height=200 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="http://imagesource/test.gif"><b><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'><span style='color:red'>Testing</span></i><span style='color:red'> </span></b></p>
I am reading this file in stringbuffer sb and sending using file
msg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(
          new ByteArrayDataSource(sb.toString(), contentType)));
where contentType is "text/html"
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
String fromAddress = getProperty("email.fromaddress");
InternetAddress FROM = new InternetAddress(fromAddress);
msg.setFrom(FROM);
InternetAddress[] addressto = {new InternetAddress(toEmailAddress)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressto);
msg.setSubject("Test");
Transport.send(msg);
but in mail it gets converted to
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=390 height=200 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="http://imagesource/test.gif"><b><i style=''><span style=''>ATT</span></i><span style=''> </span></b></p>
here span style is blank.
which is avoiding colors to display.

I am reading this file in stringbuffer sb and sending using file
msg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(
          new ByteArrayDataSource(sb.toString(), contentType)));
where contentType is "text/html"
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);First you can simplify the above to:
messageBodyPart.setText(sb.toString(), null, "html");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
And if you're only putting one body part in the multipart, you can get rid of the
multipart completely and use "msg.setText".
As for your real problem, I don't know. It looks like you have a mix of single and double
quotes in your message, perhaps that's part of the problem? Print out the string you've
constructed before you send it to make sure it really has all the correct text.
