Without seeing the rest of the code that generates the email it's impossible to tell you what you're doing wrong.

It's entirely possible you're not doing anything wrong, depending on if the email client can handle HTML emails. Just about all do, but there are still machines out there running Windows 95, so I'm not going to rule this out.

Hey there,
Thanks for responding, here is the code as follows:-

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(toAddress));
mail.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress, "Test");
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Body = body;

subject,body are string variables.

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(smtpServer, Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["port"]));
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(smtpUser,smtpPassword);
client.Send(mail);

But this part of code is irrelevant to the question; it does not say anything about the content. What's the problem? First of all, what should be those URLs, referencing images inside the mail, or outside, somewhere on the Web?
