because the mail header does not contain the necessary mime headers.

You need to somehow add headers for

	MIME-Version: 1.0
	Content-type: text/html

That would be for the simple case of a single part message in html. A multipart message with both plan text and html is commonly considered to be better.

Are you using the java mail classes?

The java mail api docs have various methods, but I don't see the thing I expected - "setContentType" (which be the obvious thing to use).

There is a "setHeader" method. Perhaps you have to use that with the correct strings yourself.

There is also a constructor for a mime message, (as opposed to just a message), so perhaps you should start with that and see what it produces.
