Using Email notification activity can we send a HTML tags so I can get a mail as an HTML template. Currently I wrote an HTML code in Email notification activity but when I get a mail I can see all my tags and source code it has not been executed

Can you please suggest me the way how to do it.

What do you mean by "executed" in an HTML context? HTML = "hypertext markup language" - it does not promise anything executable.

By execute I mean render, See what I am trying to achieve here is to I want to format the output text which I am sending in the email body

for eg if mail cotains alert notification need to show in bold or red color

right now my mail text is containing HTML tags which i want to render which displaying in browser

Please let me know if further clarification is needed

DataStage on UNIX uses 'sendmail' under the covers and that only supports HTML if the message is MIME encoded. For one example, see here. Which also means you'll need to roll your own email routine to accomplish this, unless (perhaps?) you send the HTML document as an attachment instead of in the body.
