I have a written a console C# program, that send email to the users with the image embedded into the body of mail. I have referred this link to write the program
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34467/Sending-Email-Using-Embedded-Images

In the email body, I have mentioned the font size as

HTML

"10" and image alignment as "middle"
string body = "<html><body><b><font size=\"10\" face=\"Helvetica\" color=\"B0B0B0\">Some Text</font></b><br><br><img align=\"middle\" src=\"cid:Pic1\"></body></html>";

but when the mail is received by the users in their outlook, the fontsize of the body is appears as 36 and the picture doesn't get to the center of the body of the email message body.

Kindly suggest, how to overcome this issue.

The size you specify in the font tag is a number from 1 to 7, where 3 is the default of the browser (or mail client in this case). This attribute is also not supported in HTML 5 and should be avoided. See also w3schools[^].

It's better to use the style tag instead of the font tag, e.g.

HTML

<b style="font-size: 10px; font-family: 'Helvetica'; color: #B0B0B0;">some text</b>

Not sure what the deal is with the picture, you do have to send it with in the header of the mail with the correct name.

Solution 2

Create a separate template, design it in your way and fill it dynamically. So that your CSS will apply properly.
