Hi,
You can send mail in HTML format like this

XML

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.To = "me@mycompany.com";
mail.From = "you@yourcompany.com";
mail.Subject = "this is a test email.";
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
mail.Body = "this is my test email body.<br><b>this part is in bold</b>";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";  //your real server goes here
SmtpMail.Send( mail );

Solution 2

The easiest way to send formatted email is to send it as HTML. There is an extended RichTextBox which accepts and generates HTML here: An extended RichTextBox to save and load "HTML lite" files[^]
