By including the below headers 

    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";


    $headers .= 'To: Mary <[email protected]>, Kelly <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";


    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Source,

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

if you are using PHP Mailer,

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAttachment("images/image1.gif");      
$mail->AddAttachment("images/image2.gif");

if you are using this function:

function smtpmailer($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $body) { 
    global $error;
    $mail = new PHPMailer();  // create a new object
    $mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 0;  // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;  // authentication enabled
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
    $mail->Port = 465; 
    $mail->Username = GUSER;  
    $mail->Password = GPWD;           
    $mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
    $mail->Subject = $subject;
    $mail->Body = $body;
    $mail->AddAddress($to);
    if(!$mail->Send()) {
        $error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo; 
        return false;
    } else {
        $error = 'Message sent!';
        return true;
    }
}

Then change the line of $mail->Body = $body; to code blow:

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

This change will allow you to send HTML emails via PHPMailer, You can also add $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8'; to avoid future problems with special characters ...
