edit: i've tried around bit , came solution:

            mailmessage mail = new mailmessage();             mail.to.add(new mailaddress("xxx@yyy.de"));             mail.from = new mailaddress("xxx@yyy.de");             smtpclient sender = new smtpclient             {                 host = "smtp.client",                 port = 25             };             mail.subject = "test";              body= "blablabla<br><img alt=\"\" hspace=0 src=\"cid:imagedid\" align=baseline border=0 ><br>blablabla";             alternateview htmlview = alternateview.createalternateviewfromstring(body, null, "text/html");              using (system.io.memorystream image = new system.io.memorystream())             {                 bitmap diagram = new bitmap("c:\\qwer.bmp");                 diagram.save(image, system.drawing.imaging.imageformat.jpeg);                 linkedresource resource = new linkedresource(image, "image/jpeg");                 resource.contentid = "imageid";                 resource.transferencoding = system.net.mime.transferencoding.base64;                 htmlview.linkedresources.add(resource);                 mail.alternateviews.add(htmlview);                  sender.send(mail);             } 

but mailclient (lotus notes) doesnt open mail error: "no mime data". idea how solve this?

try creating in word (either image or whole email) drag on , copy , paste outlook. think auto attaches images embeds them.
