Try to use HtmlEmail.class .

I hope this code will help you.

   MessageGateway<HtmlEmail> messageGateway = messageGatewayService.getGateway(HtmlEmail.class);
               HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
               email = mailTemplate.getEmail(StrLookup.mapLookup(emailProperties), HtmlEmail.class);
               List<InternetAddress> emailRecipients = new ArrayList<InternetAddress>();
               emailRecipients.add(new InternetAddress(request.getParameter("email")));
               email.setTo(emailRecipients);
               messageGateway.send(email);

Here is a community article that shows how to send email using the MessageGateway API:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/day/cq/mailer/MessageGateway.html

Article:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-custom-aem-workflow-steps.html

The email is sent as part of a custom workflow. Also - its only a text based email - it does not use a template.

See this older community thread for good information about sending with a template:

I'm a big fan of the ACS Commons Email API (link below).

You can supply an email template and pass in key/value pairs to replace tokens within the template.

Create a custom sling servlet to handle the HTTP POST/GET operation. For information on creating sling servlets for AEM - see:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/custom-sling-servlets.html

See this older community thread for details on email/templates:
