I found this way not sure it works for all the CSS primitives

By setting the header property "Content-Type" to "text/html"

mimeMessage.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

now I can do stuff like

mimeMessage.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

mimeMessage.setText ("`<html><body><h1 style =\"color:blue;\">My first Header<h1></body></html>`")

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   message setContent someHtmlMessage   text html  charset utf-8      For additional details  see    GMail Media Queries GMail CSS Design CSS support in mail clients

If you are using Google app engine Java  then use the following     MimeMessage msg   new MimeMessage session   msg setFrom new InternetAddress SENDER EMAIL ADDRESS   Admin     msg addRecipient Message RecipientType TO                   new InternetAddress toAddress   user     msg setSubject subject  UTF-8     Multipart mp   new MimeMultipart    MimeBodyPart htmlPart   new MimeBodyPart    htmlPart setContent message   text html    mp addBodyPart htmlPart   msg setContent mp   Transport send msg

Since JavaMail version 1 4  there is an overload of setText method that accepts the subtype      Passing null for second argument in order for the method to determine    the actual charset on-the fly     If you know the charset  pass it   utf-8  should be fine msg setText  message  null   html
