I have an application that can send mails, implemented in Java. I want to put a HTML link inside de mail, but the link appears as normal letters, not as HTML link...
How can i do to inside the HTML link into a String? I need special characters? thank you so much
Update:
HI evereybody! thanks for oyu answers! Here is my code:
public static boolean sendMail(Properties props, String to, String from,
String password, String subject, String body)
{
try
{
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(mbp);
// Preparamos la sesion
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
// Construimos el mensaje
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setContent(multipart);
message.addRecipient(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
// Lo enviamos.
Transport t = session.getTransport("smtp");
t.connect(from, password);
t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
// Cierre.
t.close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
And here the body String:
String link = "ACTIVAR CUENTA";
But in the received message the link appears as the link string, not as HTML hyperlink! I don't understand what happens...
Any solution?
Adding the link is as simple as adding the text inside the string. You should set your email to support html (it depends on the library you are using), and you should not escape your email content before sending it.
Update: since you are using java.mail, you should set the text this way:
message.setText(body, "UTF-8", "html");
html is the mime subtype (this will result in text/html). The default value that is used by the setText(string) method is plain
I'm just going to answer in case this didn't work for someone else.
I tried Bozho's method and for some reason the email wouldn't send when I did the setText on the message as a whole.
I tried
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
but this came as an attachment in Outlook instead of in the usual text. To fix this for me, and in Outlook, instead of doing the mbp.setContent and message.setText, I just did a single setText on the message body part. ie:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8", "html");
With my code for the message looking like this:
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
for(String str : to){
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(str));
}
message.setSubject(subject);
// Create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Fill the message
messageBodyPart.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8","html");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send(message);
Appending "http://" before the URL worked for me.
We can create html link in the email body by using java code.In my case I am developing reset password where I should create link and send to the user through the mail.you will create one string.With in a string you type all the url.If you add the http to the that .it behaves like link with in the mail.
Ex:String mailBody ="http://localhost:8080/Mail/verifytoken?token="+ token ;
you can send some value with url by adding query string.Her token has some encrypted value.
put mailBody in your mail body parameter.
ex": "Hi "+userdata.getFirstname()+
"\n\n You have requested for a new password from the X application. Please use the below Link to log in."+
"\n\n Click on Link: "+mailBody);
The above is the string that is parameter that you have to pass to your mail service.Email service takes parameters like from,to,subject,body.Here I have given body how it should be.you pass the from ,to,subject values according to your cast
you can do right way it is working for me.
public class SendEmail
{
public void getEmail(String to,String from, String userName,String password,Properties props,String subject,String messageBody)
{
MimeBodyPart mimeBodyPart=new MimeBodyPart();
mimeBodyPart.setContent(messageBody,"text/html");
MimeMultipart multipart=new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(mimeBodyPart);
Session session=Session.getInstance(props,new Authenticator()
{
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return new PasswordAuthentication(userName,password);
}
});
try{
MimeMessage message=new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setContent(multipart);
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject("Have You got Mail!");
message.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8","html");
Transport.send(message);
}
catch(MessagingException ex){System.out.println(ex)}
public static void main(String arg[]){
SendEmail sendEmail=new SendEmail();
String to = "XXXXXXX#gmail.com";
String from = "XXXXXXXX#gmail.com";
final String username = "XXXXX#gmail.com";
final String password = "XXXX";
String subject="Html Template";
String body = "<i> Congratulations!</i><br>";
body += "<b>Your Email is working!</b><br>";
body += "<font color=red>Thank </font>";
String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
sendEmail.getEmail(to,from,username,password,props,subject,body);
}

I am developing an app where I need to set image in a header and footer of a mail. I saw method setHeader(String header-name, String header_value) but when I put into it a path to my image I don't get anything.
This is my code:
public static void send(String host, String port,
final String userName, final String password, String toAddress,
String subject, String htmlBody,
Map<String, String> mapInlineImages)
throws AddressException, MessagingException {
// sets SMTP server properties
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
properties.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
properties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
properties.put("mail.user", userName);
properties.put("mail.password", password);
// creates a new session with an authenticator
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password);
}
};
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, auth);
// creates a new e-mail message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(userName));
InternetAddress[] toAddresses = { new InternetAddress(toAddress) };
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddresses);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setHeader("image1", "D:\\broki\\src\\main\\resources\\imageHeader.jpg");
// creates message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlBody, "text/html");
// creates multi-part
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// adds inline image attachments
if (mapInlineImages != null && mapInlineImages.size() > 0) {
Set<String> setImageID = mapInlineImages.keySet();
for (String contentId : setImageID) {
MimeBodyPart imagePart = new MimeBodyPart();
imagePart.setHeader("Content-ID", "<" + contentId + ">");
imagePart.setDisposition(MimeBodyPart.INLINE);
String imageFilePath = mapInlineImages.get(contentId);
try {
imagePart.attachFile(imageFilePath);
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
multipart.addBodyPart(imagePart);
}
}
msg.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send(msg);
}
}
As you can see in part
msg.setHeader("image1", "D:\\broki\\src\\main\\resources\\imageHeader.jpg")
I put some key and value which is path to my Image which I want to set into header. But nothing happens. Can someone help me?
The word "header" in a MIME message refers to a section of the message that has "key: value" fields. This section is called "header" because it's transmitted before the "body" content of the message. The headers are for things like "Date", "Subject", "Content-Type".
The word "header" does not refer to a graphical header that would be visible on the screen or when printed. To add this type of a header, you have to modify the content of the message. In your program, that's stored in the htmlBody variable.
I don't think you can simply modify htmlBody to add a header to it, without knowing how it is structured. In the general case, the page header has to be incorporated in the HTML message design from the start.
I am getting the syntax for the below line while trying to send the mail through SMTP .I tried in google but didnt get any relevant answer.
property.setProperty("mail.smtp.host",host);
CODE:
public class SendMail {

String to = "Receiver Mail ID";
//Sender Mail Id
String from = "Sender Mail ID";
//Sending email from the localhost
String host = "localhost";
//Get System Properties
Properties property = System.getProperties();
//Setup the mail server
property.setProperty("mail.smtp.host",host);
property.setProperty("mail.smtp.port" , "465");
//property.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
//Get the default session object
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(property);
try
{
//Create a default MimeMessage object.
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
//Set From: header field of the header
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
//Set To : header field of the header
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
//Set Subject : header field
message.setSubject("Automation Testing Report");
//Create the Message part
BodyPart messageBodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
//Enter the message in the Mail Body
messageBodypart.setText("***********Find the below for the Report****************");
//Create a Multipart Message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
//Set Text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodypart);
//Part two is attachment
/*create the Message part*/
messageBodypart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "E:\\Project\\jar\\Selenium Scripts\\Hybrid_Driven\\test-output\\emailable-report.html";

//Send the complete message part
message.setContent(multipart);
//Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Mail has sent successfully");
}
catch(MessagingException mex)
{
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Please help me to resolve this issue.
You cannot put java code directly into a class. It needs to be within methods. The following is happily accepted by the compiler:
public class SendMail {
...
//Get System Properties
java.util.Properties property = System.getProperties();
void doSomething()
{
property.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
property.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", "465");
...
}
}
public static String sendMail(
String destino,
String texto,
String asunto,
byte[] formulario,
String nombre) {
Properties properties = new Properties();
try{
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties);
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("reminder#companyname.com.ar"));
//Cargo el destino
if(destino!= null && destino.length > 0 && destino[0].length() > 0 ){
for (int i = 0; i < destino.length; i++) {
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(destino[i]));
}
}
//message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject(asunto);
//I load the text and replace all the '&' for 'Enters' and the '#' for tabs
message.setText(texto.replaceAll("&","\n").replaceAll("#","\t"));
Transport.send(message);
return "Mensaje enviado con éxito";
}catch(Exception mex){
return mex.toString();
}
}
Hello everyone.
I was trying to figure out how can I attach the PDF sent by parameters as formulario in the code previously shown.
The company used to do the following trick for this matter but they need to change it for the one previously shown:
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(
texto.replaceAll("&", "\n").replaceAll("#", "\t"));
//msg.setText(texto.replaceAll("&","\n").replaceAll("#","\t"));
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(
(DataSource) new InputStreamDataSource(formulario,
"EDD",
"application/pdf")));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(nombre + ".pdf");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
msg.saveChanges();
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(
"smtp.gmail.com",
"reminder#companyname.com.ar",
"companypassword");
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
return "Mensaje enviado con éxito";
} catch (Exception mex) {
return mex.toString();
Since you already can send emails, the adjust your code and add the following part to your code
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("This is message body");
// Create a multipar message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "/home/file.pdf";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
original code taken from here
Is formulario a byte array in both cases? If so, just rewrite the first block of code to construct the message using the technique in the second block of code. Or replace InputStreamDataSource with ByteArrayDataSource in the new version.
The sending email with attachment is similar to sending email but here the additional functionality is with message sending a file or document by making use of MimeBodyPart, BodyPart classes.
The process for sending mail with attachment involves session object, MimeBody, MultiPart objects. Here the MimeBody is used to set the text message and it is carried by MultiPart object. Because of MultiPart object here sending attachment.
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Attachment");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("Please find the attachment below");
// Create a multipar message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "D:/test.PDF";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Email Sent Successfully !!");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);

I currently have a program that sends users an email based on their information in my database. The email is built out in html and sends to the users email as a content type text/html. I want to try and see if I could somehow send this message to their phone using the email format ###########domain.com.
Obviously phones cant receive an HTML message, so I tried this:
-Removed the html and sent pure text, this did work, however for Verizon (the only service provider I tested) the text got cut off and the full message never sent. I only received the first part of the message.
Then I wondered if it was possible to somehow "screenshot" the html message and simply send the picture of the html display to the phone.
Here is my current code to send an email:
public static void email(String content, String address) {
final String username = "email";
final String password = "password";
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
});
try {
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
Address[] a = InternetAddress.parse("myemail");
message.setReplyTo(a);
message.setHeader("From: ", "Movie Alert");
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(address));
if (ShowFinder.showsFound > 1) message.setSubject("Movie Alert: " + ShowFinder.showsFound + " New Shows Found!");
else if (ShowFinder.showsFound == 1) message.setSubject("Movie Alert: " + ShowFinder.showsFound + " New Show Found!");
else message.setSubject("Unsubscribed");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(content);
message.setContent(sb.toString(), "text/html");
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent Email");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
So in conclusion I have the following questions:
-Is the reason the text got cut off because I am not sending the email properly, or because of the service provider?
-Is it possible to send a screenshot of the html display based on the html code through a text message?
Thanks!
I found a solution to send an html message to a phone! There is a jar called HTML2Image that will convert your html code into an image: https://code.google.com/p/java-html2image/
To make an image of the html you would do something like this:
HtmlImageGenerator imageGenerator = new HtmlImageGenerator();
imageGenerator.loadHtml("<b>Hello World!</b> Please goto <a title=\"Goto Google\" href=\"http://www.google.com\">Google</a>.");
imageGenerator.saveAsImage("hello-world.png");
Then you could send this new image like so:
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("email"));
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(toEmail));
mbp1.setText(text);
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(new File("screenshot location/hello-world.png"));
mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
mbp2.setFileName("Screenshot.png");
mbp2.setHeader("Content-ID", "<image_cid>");
mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
message.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(message);
I strongly suspect the text is getting cut off because of the service provider. There's probably a limit on the size of a single text message.
If you can't fit all the text you want into a short message, you might want to send a link to a web page containing all the information.
I am using TinyMCE in my website to get some data
I am storing the data in the MySQL database .. I am storing the HTML generated from the RTE to the database
It works fine when I have to display the data on a browser and everything is neatly formatted
However When I try to send that via email ... I get HTML in the email (and that too escaped)
Emailer code (just a start) is as follows:
public static void sendMail(String to, String from, String subject, String content)
throws Exception
{
if(!ScribeBookConstants.isEmailEnabled())
return;
//String host = "s155.eatj.com";
String host = ScribeBookConstants.getEmailHost();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
SMTPAuthenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
msg.setText(content);
Transport.send(msg);
}
I tried to send an email to a Gmail account ... and get escaped HTML in the message text
Unescape content before calling setText().
Actually found the solution
I just had to set the content type to "text/html"
