You can't, as mail (SMTP) is strictly ASCII plain text. It was
developed before HTML and the web.

You can code your mail message as a MIME encoded mail, which means
that you can send anything in the mail, like the message coded with
HTML and the smiley also sent as a picture. But then you are not
garantied that the message could be read by the reciever.
To solve that, you could send the messsage in two formats in the MIME
encoded message, the plain ASCII that all are garantied to be able to
read and as HTML-text mentioned above.

So, read up on MIME in mail and then send the message in ASCII and
HTML encoding.

Good luck
