        String msg=\"Happy BirthDay Dear, \"+name.toUpperCase()+\"  !!! Have a Great Day. \\n \\n Thank You \\n Seva Development \";
            


        

Answer 1

You didn't specified content type of mail. In which case it is sent in plain.

Try setting content type

helper.setContent(htmlMsg, "text/html;  charset=\"utf-8\"");

Now when you open this mail with any email client, it will read it in html format.

You can also set multiple formats by using MimeMultitype

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
BodyPart messageBodyPart;

// PLAIN TEXT
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setContent(textBody, "text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

// HTML TEXT
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlBody, "text/html; charset=\"utf-8\"");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

message.setContent(multipart);
