Compiling HTML body for mail in c#

I am using the following codes for users to send me a quote to my email.

    using System.Net.Mail;

    MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
    mail.From = new MailAddress(Email.Text);
    mail.To.Add("my yahoo email");
    mail.Subject = "Requested Quote From my site";
    mail.Body = "<br /><b>Primary project type:</b> " + ProjectTypeRadio.SelectedItem.Text + "<br /><b>Interested In:</b> " + InterestedCheck + "<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>PRODUCT DETAILS:</b><hr />" + Electric + HotWater + PoolHeating + SpaceHeating + "<br /> + "<br /><b>Message:</b><br /><hr /><br />" + txtMsg.Text + "<br /><br />";

    SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.mail.yahoo.com");
    smtp.Send(mail);
    Response.Redirect("Thanks.aspx");

Web.Config

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
  <smtp>
    <network host="smtp.mail.yahoo.com" port="995" userName="my yahoo email" password="Password" />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>

Can anyone please check my code and point my mistake or guide me a solution, it will be a big favor, thanks.

You can set mail.IsBodyHTML = true

Also, depending on what you're sending you may want to use AlternateViews to send both plain text and text/html variations.

you must set BodyFormat mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html;
