To send HTML mail, you need to use a multipart body. Here's a very nice
article on how to do this:

Hi Guys,
I am having problems sending html emails from a geronimo server. When
my code runs on the J2EE preview server in eclipse everything works
fine. Is there anything i need to configure on the server to assist
the sending of these emails?
The email arrives in my inbox as text format not html
Can anybody explain what i am doing wrong?
Here is a clip of the code:
Message_ msg_ = new MimeMessage(session);
_ msg_.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
_ msg_.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(
to, false));
_ msg_.setSubject(subject);
_ msg_.setContent(body, "text/_html_");
//StringBuffer_ sbuf_ = new StringBuffer(body);
//_msg_.setContent(new
String(_sbuf_.toString().getBytes(), "_iso_-8859-1"), "text/_html_;_
charset_=\"_iso_-8859-1\"");
//_msg_.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "7bit");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
Transport.send(_msg_);
This is the content of the email when it arrives as text:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
