How could i send the email as html?

Have a look at MailMessage.IsBodyHtml

Answer 2

Easy:

objMail.IsBodyHtml = True

Answer 3

I'm not sure how to do this in VB, but you need to set the mime-type to text/html

Answer 4

You need to specify that the mailbody is to be sent as HTML... like this:

objMail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;
