Hi

I tried to run the example sendHtml.java given in JavaMail API but getting the above exception..the details are as follows:

			

			javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
			

			nested exception is:
			

			javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException
			

			at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:187)
			

			at moeza.mail.HtmlImageExample.main(HtmlImageExample.java:71)
			

		

If i use a DataSource, like the ByteArrayDataSource() given with the API and add multipart to the message (instead of using message.setContent() ) then the problem does not occur. Plain HTML trasfers smoothly. Is there some problem with version of activation?

2) However, i am not able to send images with the HTML(even after using the ByteArrayDataSource). The received mail displays only blank placeholder and no image seen. Even changing the "cid:" to "Content-ID" in the html "img src" doesnt help.

Any clues?

thanks
