No, MVC does not include anything related to sending emails. But it doesn’t need to, because this functionality is built into .NET. There are many many many tutorials on how to send html emails in .NET. It’s not a lot of code to do it either.

There are various third party libraries that improve things, such as MvcMailer, FluentEmail, etc.. Just search for email in NuGet and see the list.
