Sending html through java.mail

Question

Hello, what i am attempting to do is present a user with a survey via .jsp in a browser. When the user submits the form i am retrieving all of the parameters and reconsituting the html form via the URL class. What i would like to do at this point is mail the html form to myself. The net result being, when i open my outlook and view the incoming survey, the survey looks pretty much like it did just before the user submitted it.
Currently what is happening is the html text is appearing in my email as apposed to the rendered html page.
Is this a mime type issue? When i query the mulibodypart.isMimeType("html") i get "false".
The way that i am creating my mail msg is:
try {
//open the URL...
cat.debug("opening url stream...");
in = new BufferedInputStream(
url.openStream() );
} catch ( IOException e ) {
cat.error( "Couldn't retrieve data from url!" );
}//try
session.setDebug(true);
// construct the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom();
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
msg.setSubject(subject);
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart(in);
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
msg.setContent(mp);
msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "JavaMailer");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// send the thing off
Transport.send(msg);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the code that gets url and send contents of it via email
public void sendMimeMail(String subject, String sUrl, String destination, String sender){
  try {
    javax.mail.Message msg = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage(session); //create session somewhere
    msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(sender));
    msg.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
      InternetAddress.parse(destination, false));
    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    URL url = new URL(sUrl);
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new javax.activation.DataHandler(url));
    MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("Related");
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
    msg.setContent(multipart);
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    Transport.send(msg);
  }catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
