open a HTML code in outlook in java

Question

I have to open a html code in outlook instead of sending the email. I need to open the content in outlook first and then provide a option to user to edit it if he wants.

I want user to sent the email manually. I just want to display the information in outlook mail and then user can sent it manually.

sample html content:

<HTML>
<body>
  <b>Hello test</b>
</body>
</HTML>

The above html I need to open in the outlook mail.

Code:

    System.out.println("Gettjg in");
    String recipientName = null;
    System.out.println("receiver"+receiver.toString());
    // Prepare the evaluation context
    final Context ctx = new Context(locale);
    ctx.setVariable("name", recipientName);
    ctx.setVariable("remedyGroup", recipientName);
    ctx.setVariable("regards", recipientName);
    ctx.setVariable("assigneeName", recipientName);
    ctx.setVariable("assigneeGroup", recipientName);
    ctx.setVariable("subscriptionDate", new Date());
    ctx.setVariable("hobbies", Arrays.asList("Cinema", "Sports", "Music"));

    // Prepare message using a Spring helper
    final MimeMessage mimeMessage = this.mailSender.createMimeMessage();
    final MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, "UTF-8");
    message.setSubject(receiver.getTicketSummary());
    message.setFrom("thymeleaf@example.com");
    message.setTo(receiver.getReceiverEmail());

    // Create the HTML body using Thymeleaf
    final String htmlContent = this.templateEngine.process("email-simple.html", ctx);
    message.setText(htmlContent, true /* isHtml */);
    try {
        Desktop.getDesktop().mail( new URI( "mailto:bsenthilnathan@cognizant.com?subject="+message+"&cc="+"fsf"+"&body="+htmlContent));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I am not sure how can I open a html content in the outlook. Can anybody knows how to open the HTML content in a outlook instead of sending it.

Please elaborate `open a html content`. Not sure what you mean by that. — Sujeet Sinha, Jun 14 '16 at 11:07

The method you are using simply opens any mail client present on the user machine with the parameters sent in the URI component. If you check the link, you cannot send HTML content using this method unfortunately!
