    Assuming you’re using the .net MailMessage type you can set IsBodyHtml = true; and then write your <img> tags as you normally would using absolute paths e.g. www.example.com/images/image.png.

    For cleanliness sake, i read my HTML from an XML file, e.g.

    private MailMessage GetHtmlEmail()
{
    MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
    XmlTextReader xReader = new XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("~/ConfigFiles/Email.xml"));

    while (xReader.Read())
    {
        switch (xReader.Name)
        {
            case "ToAddress":
                mail.To.Add(xReader.ReadElementContentAs(typeof(string), null).ToString());
                break;
            case "FromAddress":
                mail.From = new MailAddress(xReader.ReadElementContentAs(typeof(string), null).ToString());
                break;
            case "Subject":
                mail.Subject = xReader.ReadElementContentAs(typeof(string), null).ToString();
                break;
            case "EmailBody":
                mail.Body = xReader.ReadElementContentAs(typeof(string), null).ToString();
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }

    return mail;
}

    And the XML file…

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Email>
    <FromAddress>website@domain.co.uk</FromAddress>
    <ToAddress>to@domain.co.uk</ToAddress>
    <Subject>Contact us enquiry</Subject>
    <EmailBody>
        <![CDATA[
        <html>
           <head>
              <title>Customer Enquiry</title>
           </head>
            <div valign="top">
                <!-- center -->
                <font color="#666666" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana" size="2">
                  <p>You have recieved a new customer enquiry.</p>
                  <p><strong>Name: </strong>{0}<br />
                  <strong>Email: </strong>{1}<br />
                  <strong>Tel: </strong>{2}<br /></p>
                  <p><strong>Message: </strong>{3}</p>
                </font>
            </div>
          </html> 
      ]]>
    </EmailBody>
</Email>
