Its pretty simple from the docs included with mailer taglib but, heres how it works with some examples : First page is a simple html:form that collects the data. The javascript:validate() method on that page forwards on to another html page (the page that goes in to the body of your html email) which has these tags in : -- <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/mailer-1.1" prefix="mail" %> <mail:mail> <mail:server><c:out value="${mailhost}" escapeXml="false" /></mail:server> <mail:from>"<c:out value="${sender}" escapeXml="false" />" <<c:out value="${sender}" escapeXml="false" />></mail:from> <mail:setrecipient type="to"><c:out value="${recipient}" escapeXml="false" /></mail:setrecipient> <mail:subject>subject here</mail:subject> <mail:message type="html"> <html> <body> <h1> go go gadget legs </h1> </body> </html> </mail:message> <mail:send/> </mail:mail> <c:redirect url="nextPage.do" /> -- The user only sees the form page and nextPage.do and recieves a nice big 'go go gadget legs' in their email.

I still have trouble getting the desired result, would you be able to give me some simple sample code???

It sends html including css and images etc. The trick is to generate a normal html page and then send the built page as the body part of the mailer tag.

You can have <img src="foo"> etc in them, but the picture will be obtained from a server of some kind. Some mail clients [okay, Outlook is the only one I know of] allow for some proprietary xml-ish tags to be in your emails which will load resources from attachments. I usually send from Outlook to Pine to see this, but I'm sure there are ways to see what the html really looks like in Outlook. Save it or something. Anyway, you'll see lots of special tags that exist. I've never really played with them though. I'd definitely be interested in seeing any info which details the pseudo-library of extra tags that Outlook converses in, but have never really gone looking for them. Maybe it's possible to write a Java library for creating Outlook-HTML pages and then sending it as a mime-type that only Outlook responds to (?). We could then send 3 versions of every mail, plain-text, html and outlook-html. Just some thoughts...
