My advice would be "Don't send HTML email" and "Send photos as attachments", but I imagine that's not the answer you're looking for.

If you can use ASP then go with that, there's some decent 3rd party components that are pretty cheap.

ya I read it just now and had a discussion with my senior he said it will work but here I am going to face the limitation of 8000 characters ,have u completed the article which u have mentioned here about overcoming the limitation of 8000 characters??
secondly is there any way of excessing text data in the stored procedure since we can not declare a text datatype in a procedure??
is there any thing like pointers which can directly point the required start of the page containng the required data??
tnxs for the help

The only way I have found to work is to write a COM wrapper for cdonts and then use sp_OA.. to work with it.
