I am developing email application using java. I have a string as follows :

String msg= "College Email \nHello"+" "+name+"\n"+"You are selected As 'Admin'.\n Please use Given username and password for login\n \Username:"+" "+username+" "+"Password:"+" "+password+"";

I want send this string as email message. and i want to "BOLD and color" username and password(I want to show this message in inbox i.e on browser). how can i embed HTML tags to do this ? OR is there any simple way to do this without using HTML tags ?

Can any one correct above string (msg) OR provide any link or code to fix this problem ?

thank you.

As per the Javadoc, the MimeMessage#setText() sets a default mime type of text/plain, while you need text/html. Rather use MimeMessage#setContent() instead.

String someHtmlMessage = "Hello this is test message <b style='color:blue;'>bold color</b>";

message.setContent(someHtmlMessage, "text/html; charset=utf-8");

Note that the HTML should not contain the <html>, <head> or <body>. Gmail will ignore it. See also CSS support in mail clients.

If you want to do it the old school, vanilla java way you can use the org.w3c.dom.Document API to get the work done.

It has a bunch of useful methods for creating and manipulating elements such as createElement, createAttribute, etc. to do what you want.

Just type the tags into your message like String msg = "<strong>Hello World!</strong> and send it as a HTML message, you only need to set type of the content via MimeMessage#setContent() method like

message.setContent(msg, "text/html; charset=utf-8");`
