                                    string contentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
                                    LinkedResource inline = new LinkedResource(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~"+currentSrcValue));
                                    inline.ContentId = contentId;
                                    inline.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64;

                                    x.SetAttributeValue("src", "cid:" + inline.ContentId);
                                    htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(inline);

            string result = document.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;


            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(result.ToString(), null, "text/html");
            mail.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);

Another option for building emails is to use RazorEngine (you have to install it on your project).

You can have something like below:

mail.Body = Razor.Parse(param1, param2);

where param1 is the path to the cshtml and param2 represents the model.

You can even have a particular picture for each email by keeping the path to the image in a model property.

Have a nice day!
