Pradnya, Yes, the implementation would be the same except that you would be using Velocity instead of FreeMarker to transform the template into the email body.
I am not familiar with FreeMarker so I can't comment it.

Thanks for additional info about testing the plain mail messages. Even I am not sure if I will get client to test the plain test messages or not. After goggling for multipart email messages, I got following link showing sample of Sending FreeMarker-based multipart email with Spring: http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/spring/display/DISC/Sending+FreeMarker-based+multipart+email+with+Spring So, if I have to use Velocity Engine then will the implementation would be on similar lines with a difference of using velocity template to generate the mail message instead of using FreeMarker templates?
