Send HTML code to Body of email application

Question

Is there a way I can use mailto: or JavaScript to send a string containing HTML code to the body of an email message so that the HTML will render? This just renders as text and doesn't actually display an image (same for a mailto: link):

window.open('email@email.com&Subject=Test&Body=<img src="MyImageURL" />');

In the real code, I'm using the full URL of the image, with the http://www..., and also, I confirmed that the email type is HTML and not plain text.

This is a project requirement, to allow someone to send a formatted message through their own email rather than us sending it server-side on their behalf through our SMTP server.

Also, the email application I've been testing in so far is Outlook. — StronglyTyped, Jul 01 '13 at 20:16
What does this have to do with C#? Your description discusses only JS. Are you allowing server side answers? — P.Brian.Mackey, Jul 01 '13 at 20:18
Omer, yes, if I copy/paste the image from the browser it displays fine. — StronglyTyped, Jul 01 '13 at 20:20
P.Brian.Mackey, server side answers are fine, whatever works. — StronglyTyped, Jul 01 '13 at 20:21
