How are you sending the email? The JavaMail API?

Here is an example of a servlet sending an HTML email. It doesn't send a distinct page but it can be used to generate HTML to send. Offhand, the only way I can think to send an HTML page is to read in the page thru IO to a String and use message.setContent(yourString). There might be a better way.

        // Acquire request parameters we need
        String to = request.getParameter("To");
        String from = request.getParameter("From");
        String subject = request.getParameter("Subject");
        String content = request.getParameter("Message");
        String receiverName = request.getParameter("ReceiverName");
        String senderName = request.getParameter("SenderName");
        String page = "/emailresults.jsp";
        if ((from == null) || (to == null) || (subject == null) || (content == null))
        {
            BrawnerUtils.sendToPage("/emailform.jsp", this, request, response);
            return;
        }
        
        try
        {
            // AQUIRE THE JAVAMAIL SESSION OBJECT IN SERVER.XML
            Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
            Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
            Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");
            // PREPARE THE MAIL MESSAGE
            Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            InternetAddress dests[] = new InternetAddress[]
            { new InternetAddress(to)};
            message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, dests);
            message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
            message.setSubject(subject);
            message.setContent(content, "text/html");
            // SEND A MULTIPART MESSAGE
            //MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
            //mbp1.setContent(message, "text/html");
            //MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
            //mbp2.setContent(message, "text/plain");
            //Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
            //mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
            //mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
            // SEND THE MAIL MESSAGE
            Transport.send(message);

        }
        catch (Throwable t)
        {
            page = "/emailerror.jsp";
            log(t.getMessage());
        }
