Yes, I had earlier seen this link. That's why I posted this thread in the first place. In fact, Ronald, I see your name on this bug report. I tried using jpdl 3.3 and got another error so had to revert back to 3.2.2. But not, this bug reports says : anonymous wrote : html mail will only be used when a template or the text element is used, not with the text attribute This description, I assume, is referring to 3.2.2. And it doesn't work in 3.2.2. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4196091#...
