StringBuffer emailMessage = new StringBuffer("Dear Scott");
emailMessage.append("\r\n");
emailMessage.append("Sending mail over internet");
So here is my formatted content when i inspect in debugger
Dear Scott,
Sending mail over internet
But when i receive it in thunderbird, i receive complete message in one line like below. Somehow newline character is not interpreted correctly when sending the content as html
Dear Scott,Sending mail over internet
here is how i am sending the message as html
MimeMessage msg = null;
msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.setText(body, CHARSET_UTF_8, "html");
If i simply send the text as msg.setText(body, CHARSET_UTF_8) then i see the message in right format i.e "Sending mail over internet" in seen in next line. I am not getting why new line character is not interpreted correctly when sending the text as html?
Because you're sending an HTML email, you have to use <br />
instead of \r\n
, just like a classic HTML document (e.g. a .html
file). When you use \r\n
, the rendered content won't print a new line, but the source code of the mail will (and vice versa).
