You'll need to set the header "Content-type" to "text/html", this would then allow you to use the normal HTML hyperlink <a> tags for links (and other formatting such as bold, etc.). For non-html emails, you could just stick the URL at the end in brackets. ex: "Work Item 1234 (<url>)"

To use HTML in emails you need to create a javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart and add this to a javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.

See the following code:

IMailerService mailer = getMailerService();

MimeBodyPart plainBody= new MimeBodyPart();
plainBody.setText(getPlainTextContent(), UTF_8);

MimeBodyPart htmlBody = new MimeBodyPart();
htmlBody.setText(getHtmlContent(), UTF_8);
htmlBody.setHeader("Content-type", "text/html; charset=" + UTF_8);

MimeMultipart multipart= new MimeMultipart("");
multipart.addBodyPart(plainBody);
multipart.addBodyPart(htmlBody);

mailer.sendMultipartMail(mailer.getDefaultSender(), getEmailAddress(), "My Email Subject", multipart, null);

By "text" do you mean a String? If so, yes it does.

You have to use: mailerService .sendMultipartMail(...)

Here is a simpler version which I think answers the questions.

IMailerService mailerService = getMailerService();

MimeBodyPart htmlBody= new MimeBodyPart();

htmlBody.setText("This is my email content. This is in <b>bold</b>", UTF_8);

htmlBody.setHeader("Content-type", "text/html; charset=" + UTF_8);

MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("");

multipart.addBodyPart(htmlBody);

mailerService .sendMultipartMail(mailerService .getDefaultSender(), getEmailAddress(), "My Email Subject", multipart, null);
