Sending HTML email through amazon ses

Question

I am sending bulk emails using amazon ses. My code is given below

public void sendMail(String sender, LinkedList<String> recipients, String subject, String body) {
    Destination destination = new Destination(recipients);
    try {
        ACCESS_KEY = EmailSender.prop.getProperty("accessKey");
        SECRET_KEY = EmailSender.prop.getProperty("secretKey");

        Content subjectContent = new Content(subject);
        Content bodyContent = new Content(body);
        Body msgBody = new Body(bodyContent);
        Message msg = new Message(subjectContent, msgBody);

        SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest(sender, destination, msg);

        AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY);
        AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient sesClient = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient(credentials);
        SendEmailResult result = sesClient.sendEmail(request);

        System.out.println(result + "Email sent");  
    }catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception from EmailSender.java. Email not send");
    }

Here I have given my html content as string to the variable "body".

The mail sent successfully. But I got the html content as email. How to send html content in mail. What changes in the code will solve this issue?

What does the received email look like? What do you mean by "I got the html content as email"? What email client are you viewing the mail in? — user684934
I got mail as <html> ..... I mean the original html code full of tags — Neeraj
What email client are you using to view the received email in? If you're just viewing the text content of the email it will show as HTML markup, and if you're using a client that can render HTML, then you will see the expected result, assuming you've done everything properly on the sending side. — user684934

From the Amazon SES developerGuide:

You should use the WithHtml method:

Content subjContent = new Content().withData("Test of Amazon SES");
Message msg = new Message().withSubject(subjContent);

// Include a body in both text and HTML formats
Content textContent = new Content().withData("Hello - I hope you're having a good day.");
Content htmlContent = new Content().withData("<h1>Hello - I hope you're having a good day.</h1>");
Body body = new Body().withHtml(htmlContent).withText(textContent);
msg.setBody(body);
