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

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
