Method 1

Just set the MailMessage.BodyFormat property to MailFormat.Html, and then dump the contents of your html file to the MailMessage.Body property:

using (StreamReader reader = File.OpenText(htmlFilePath)) // Path to your 
{                                                         // HTML file
    MailMessage myMail = new MailMessage();
    myMail.From = "<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c5a3b7aaa885a8aca6b7aab6aaa3b1eba6aaa8">[email protected]</a>";
    myMail.To = "<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a0d4cfe0cdc9c3d2cfd3cfc6d48ec3cfcd">[email protected]</a>";
    myMail.Subject = "HTML Message";
    myMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

    myMail.Body = reader.ReadToEnd();  // Load the content from your file...
    //...
}

Method 2

I case you are using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage, you can use:

mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage is obsoleted but if using it: mail.BodyFormat works.
