HtmlEmail not rendering HTML correctly (apache commons)
Question
Hoping that someone can find something I am missing. I am trying to send a simple HTML email within a java application. I am using commons-mail 1.1 (via maven) as my mail lib.
The code I'm using is:
HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
email.setDebug(true);
email.setHostName("my.emailhost.com");
email.addTo("my_gmail_address@gmail.com");
email.setFrom("my_work_address@emailhost.com");
email.setSubject("Test Subject");
email.setHtmlMsg("<b>This is a bolded message</b>");
email.setTextMsg("This is a text message");
email.send();
I am receiving the email, but it is formatted thusly. It should also be noted that there is no subject, but I obviously specified one in my code.
------=_Part_0_122395252.1304699110505
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is a text message
------=_Part_0_122395252.1304699110505
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<b>This is a bolded message</b>
------=_Part_0_122395252.1304699110505--
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I switched to sending via gmail - and it did send, it just formatted it exactly the same. When i view the raw message I see

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure, and got no easy way to test it myself.
All examples i saw for commons-mail had the msg formatted as html - site (<html><body><p>Some text for testing</p></body></html>)
Furthermore I noticed this:
email.setHtmlMsg("<b>This is a bolded message</b>"); // HTML TEXT
email.setTextMsg("This is a text message"); // NORMAL Text, with no HTML styles
maybe this is a problem.
Did you tested the way it is written in the API ? They use a StringBuffer:
StringBuffer msg = new StringBuffer();
msg.append("<html><body>");
msg.append("<img src=cid:").append(he.embed(img)).append(">");
msg.append("<img src=cid:").append(he.embed(png)).append(">");
msg.append("</body></html>");
HtmlEmail he = new HtmlEmail();
he.setHtmlMsg(msg.toString());
Just some thoughts, never worked with commons-mail so far...
Hope this help! Regards,
