Sending HTML Mail with jeronimo mail implementation

Question

When I am trying to send a mail as HTML using geronimo-javamail_1.4_mail-1.8.2.jar it arrives as plain text. All solutions I found on Google suggest to exclude jeronimo and use SUN's JavaMail implementation. Here for example: How to properly send mail javax.mail 1.4 with HTML code

I cannot do that because it's licensed under a CDDL which is deemed not acceptable by our company policies (legal department).

Is there any way to make it working using geronimo-javamail_1.4_spec ? Surely this is considered a bug which might get fixed or has a workaround?

I have tried the latest available version 1.8.4.

Answer 1

The trick was to upgrade the commons-mail API to 1.5 which fixed this problem
