Change

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,mailBody2);

to

String mailtext="<body><table width=\"200\" border=\"1\"><tr bgcolor=\"#3399FF\"><td>hi</td><td>gaurav</td><td>patel</td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></body>";  

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,Html.fromHtml(mailtext));

This should work. refer this link. Hope it helps.

You cannot do this. You only can send text trough an email. You must use php to send formatted mails. Please read here also Send HTML mail using Android intent
