HTML Formatted Mail through ASP.net problem

Question

i have used System.Web.Mail.MailMessage to send HTML Formatted message to an email id.

The email id is on gmail.com so mail has been received fine but Content has not been shown.

However if i see the mail in original shape it has the whole content the divs, images and all the stuff. but inbox don't show a single thing.

can any one explain the original problem?

document.getElementById(Id).innerHTML = val; 
return false;
}
function VidPlayerShow(varID) 
{
var source = varID; 
var findex = 25; 
var lindex = source.indexOf('/', 26); 
var newSource = source.substring(26, lindex);
var newTag = '<embed src=http://www.youtube.com/v/' + newSource + '&autoplay=1 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=500 height=400 allowFullScreen=true wmode=transparent></embed>';
return newTag;

Use tables for HTML Email Design.

Not 100% if that's the source of the problem but with emails just remember:
Code like it's 1999 :)

P.S. Post yor code so we can try and locate the problem.

If you post your raw message (using Gmail, click "show original") then that would be helpful. However, chances are you are using HTML that is getting eaten alive by the mail client.

Don't use DIVs. You can use images, but it is up to the client to decide to display them or not.

This table of compatible CSS features may also help you: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/

Edit: I see you have posted your source code. Javascript... that most definitely will not execute.

@ASceeeX, see my last edit. You can't use Javascript in an e-mail.

Not having any referece to the email content, What I can say is that Sending Html emails generally require all styles to be inline without classes and all images to be linked to via absolute url.
