You can't just enter HTML into the Notes client and expect it to work. And even if you tell Lotus Notes that you're entering HTML, you can't expect the message it creates to be exactly like one that you're going to create in code. You can't really even expect it to be close.

If you want to send a test email message into a Notes user and retain complete control over the contents of the message, so that it will be processed exactly the way a message that you would from code will be, then I suggest that you learn how to use telnet to send a message to an SMTP server, and learn about the structure of MIME messages from a good general tutorial, or from a tutorial that deals specifically with email messages with text/html content.

I have read about the problems with Lotus notes not rendering styles and some other things properly, but my problem hasn't gotten that far. My end goal is to send an email through the mule ESB and have the email render as html. In trying to get this to work, I simply want to send a simple markup in the body and have it render. Once i can figure this out, I can try to build on it to get everything else correct.

My simple email message I would like to send is
```
<html>
<head>
    <title>TestingStuff</title>
</head>
<body>
    Hello!
</body>
</html>
```
And I would like to receive the email which just says Hello! When I receive the email, it is exactly as typed, it does not get rendered as html. Do I need to do anything else to specify that this should be rendered as HTML opposed to plain text?
