How do i solve this trivial issue about formatting mail? Java

Question

Hello, My web application sends mail to its users. Everything is working fine, but my html doesn't get rendered in yahoo.

If i send mail contents as :-

<div>
Hello user
<br/>
How are you?
</div>

It gets rendered as it is :(. The html is not interpreted by yahoo. How do i solve this problem? Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

I think you need to set the mime type of the message to text/html. What is your email sending code?

Answer 2

Have you made sure you send the message with content type text/html? I usually send messages as multipart messages with one HTML version and one plain text version in order to make sure everybody can read my emails.
