email html page in asp.net

have you tried reading the page into a buffer, then printing that buffer into an email. I do this all day long in PHP, but can't tell you how in asp.net yet. Probably along those lines. Read file stream into some object or string, then eval it....

in classic asp a cheap hack way was to code all of the html into a variable and then make it the message body of the cdo object.

so
string strBody = "...........";

but that way is dumb and hard to maintain, let alone make templates out of. You could read it from a database also, instead of hard coding into a page. then you get to spend a lot of time messing with the template editing program.

hint: use version control and instead of updating a record, move other versions up a level, and insert a new one (of same template ID).

Try FckEditor (open source and very nice) to modify your emails if you go the db route (or flat file i guess too).
