Can Java send email? Should I use Java?

[akay]

So I am trying to write an application where:

1) a Web page opens up (using HttpURLConnection class), prompting an automatic download

2) an email is sent confirming that the code was executed correctly


I don't know whether to program an HTML page, using JAVA to send the confirmation email (if it can indeed do that) or if I'm better off using an ASP coded webpage to confirm the download.

Any ideas? I'm new to this kind of programming so all advice is welcome!

either java/html or asp/html will work. depends on which you are more familiar with or want to learn more.
