Sending email with html tags

[francan00]

For sending email (with HTML tags) what is the best one to use?

I am using this now where it works except where I have <br> in the
message it doesnt add the newline to my output. Please advise if there
is something else I can use beside setContent?


// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/html");
Transport.send(msg);

Example of my what is in my message where everything works in the
Outlook email output except the <br> tag.


String message = "";
message += "Here is my link <a href='myaddresshere.com'>link</a><br>";
message += "<font color='green'>Next line of info here.</font><br>";
message += "<strong>Another line here</strong>";

I think your existing <br> tag might have to become well formed xml
rather than not. To do this use the <br /> tag rather than the <br> tag.

Also trying using StringBuffer class rather than String concatenation as
it will much faster if you are sending larger messages.

Try using a hex viewer or packet sniffer to examine messages going in
and out of your email program with blank links to see what it produces
and accepts. Then copy that syntax.

I looked over some incoming emails in Eudora. I see lots of <br> and
<br />. Perahps it is just YOUR mailreader having trouble with them.
Try looking with something else.
