I had to work on an email template for a newsletter which is sent on a weekly basis. What I did was, I designed it using a HTML editor, placed graphics and change the image urls to the website (to minimise server load by increasing email transfer speed). Email templates are prepared as that.

Whenever I need to send an email, I read the HTML template file, add the new text (message) and used the HTML text to send as Content-Type: text/html with Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 using php.

So the first thing you should do is to design a nice looking template using an HTML editor.

See Sending Text/HTML/Attachments email with php.
Second code is the one that you need to consider.
Encoding: base64 using php.
I can't understand that.
This is for emails with attached graphics.
