Email to include signature

[Viidhya Kishore]

Hello,

I am using the AbstractMailMessageSender to send email from our application to user.
I have extended this class to include the Attachments too.

public void sendMessage() throws MessagingException {
		MimeMessage msg = sender.createMimeMessage();
		MimeMessageHelper helper = new MimeMessageHelper(msg, true);
		helper.setTo(this.to);
		helper.setFrom(this.from);
		helper.setSubject(this.subject);
//		helper.setText(this.message+"<br><br><br><br>"+this.signature, true);
		helper.setText(this.message);
		if (this.cc != null){
			helper.setCc(this.cc);
		}
		if (this.bcc != null){
			helper.setBcc(this.bcc);
		}
		for(String attachment : attachments.keySet()){
			helper.addAttachment(attachment, attachments.get(attachment));
		}
		sender.send(msg);
	}

I am trying to include a signature with the email.
Unfortunately, the class doesnt have a method for signature.

I tried to send it along with the message body but I lose the line breaks and formatting.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

That's because e-mail doesn't have "signature" as a concept. If you want some particular text to show up at the end of the body of an e-mail, then you should append that text to the body, just as you did there.

However it appears that your e-mail is formatted as HTML, based on the commented-out code. In which case your problem is merely that HTML treats new-line characters as spaces. If you want a line break you have to use <br> -- clearly you knew that already.

Figured it out. I replaced all \r\n with <br> and it worked.
