hope this helps you

For sending mail you have to use MailMessage Class.

you can include image in message body-

follow this code

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
MailMessage Msg = new MailMessage();
// Sender e-mail address.
Msg.From = new MailAddress(txtUsername.Text);
// Recipient e-mail address.
Msg.To.Add(txtTo.Text);
Msg.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
// File Upload path
String FileName = fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;
string mailbody = txtBody.Text + "<br/><img src=cid:companylogo>";
LinkedResource myimage = new LinkedResource(FileName);
// Create HTML view
AlternateView htmlMail = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(mailbody, null, "text/html");
// Set ContentId property. Value of ContentId property must be the same as
// the src attribute of image tag in email body. 
myimage.ContentId = "companylogo";
htmlMail.LinkedResources.Add(myimage);
Msg.AlternateViews.Add(htmlMail);
// your remote SMTP server IP.
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
smtp.Port = 587;
smtp.Credentials=new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtUsername.Text,txtpwd.Text);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(Msg);
Msg = null;
Page.RegisterStartupScript("UserMsg", "<script>alert('Mail sent thank you...');if(alert){ window.location='SendMail.aspx';}</script>");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}
}
