Send email in html format

Question

Hello everybody,
First of all:
I already searched via internet but couldn´t found an example which helped me to solve my problem. Anyway I believe it must be very simple what I want to do.
My Problem: I want to send an email in html format, but until now everything I tried didn´t worked. Please help me. What do I have to do?
I already tried a lot of code typing. For example this one:
this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target="mailto:"+email_adressen+"subject="+subject+"&Body="+body+"&MessageFormat=HTML";
But nothing is working, you always see the html tags in the text - they have no effect at all :-( .
Best regards,
Paolo

I was trying to do the same thing...I found this on the java.sun.com website somewhere. Hope it works out for you.
try {
String host = "";
String from = "";
String to = "";
String fileAttachment = fileName;
// Get system properties
Properties props = new Properties();
// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
// Get session
Session session1 =
Session.getInstance(props, null);
// Define message
MimeMessage message =
new MimeMessage(session1);
message.setFrom(
new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("");
// create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart =
new MimeBodyPart();
//fill message
messageBodyPart.setText("");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source =
new FileDataSource(fileAttachment);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(source));
               messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileAttachment);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send( message );
}catch (Exception e){
System.err.print("Mailing error:");
System.err.println(e);
