Render SVG in Email body using SendGrid C#

Question

I have to place a simple image along with hyperlink inside email body. To send email I am using SendGrid API.

My C# code:

public async Task SendEmailAsync(EmailDeliveryModel model) {
    var response = new HttpResponseMessage(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    var client = new SendGridClient(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[CommonObject.SendGridKey]);
    var msg = new SendGridMessage();
    msg.SetFrom(new EmailAddress(model.SourceEmail));
    var recipients = new List();
    //multiple recipients
    foreach(string emailAddress in model.DestinationEmail.Trim(',').Split(',')) {
        recipients.Add(new EmailAddress(emailAddress.Trim()));
    }
    msg.AddTos(recipients);
    msg.SetSubject(model.Subject);
    if (model.ContentType.Equals(CommonObject.ContHTML, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) {
        msg.AddContent(MimeType.Html, model.EmailContent + "\n \n \n \n \n");
    } else {
        msg.AddContent(MimeType.Html, model.EmailContent + "\n \n \n \n \n");
    }
    var sendGridresponse = await client.SendEmailAsync(msg);
    if (sendGridresponse.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Accepted) {
        response.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK;
    }
    return response;
}

Inside EmailContent I am injecting html content along with SVG, But SVG is not rendering inside email. But if I am trying the same html in browser it works.

How to send image along with hyper link inside email body?

SVG support in mail clients is variable, Gmail does not support it for example, are you sure its worth doing? — Alex K., Jun 22 '18 at 14:45
Basically I need image in email body, if not using SVG then is ther any other way to do it. — GauravSingh, Jun 22 '18 at 14:53
SmtpClient supports inline attachments E.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18358534/send-inline-image-in-email — Alex K., Jun 22 '18 at 14:55
SVG is XML format and may be very large. XML is not exactly the same as Html. I would convert the SVG to 64 bit string using System : System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode(string) and System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(string) — jdweng, Jun 22 '18 at 15:39
