How to define powershell variable in HTML mail body

Hello,

Please advice, I tried to input powershell variable $accountexpires into HTML body, but it always shows as a HTML string. I tried to close it into "", '' etc..
But shows error or string in email.

BR

$MailMessage.Body = '
<HTML xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:v = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>

take the html code and put it in a file (i.e. body.html), then your powershell code should look something like this:$MailMessage.Body = get-content "body.html"
