change font mailSettings in asp.net 4

I want to send emails from my web. For this I use mailSettings in web.config
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="me@me.com">
<network
host="mail.me.com"
port="25"
userName="me@me.com"
password="abcd" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

In the button I use next code:

Dim mymessage As MailMessage = New MailMessage()
mymessage.Subject = "Hello"
mymessage.Body = "Hola from me.com "
mymessage.From = New MailAddress("me@me.com", "me.com")
mymessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(TextBox1.Text))
Dim mysmtpclient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient()
mysmtpclient.Send(mymessage)

everything works fine except I would like to change the font and font size of the text in my body email.

Is there any way to do this? Thanks

I would suggest the folowing :

If you send the Mail like this it's a automaticaly send as a Textmail and then it's not possible
Or you make it a HTML-Mail using simple tags

mymessage.Body = "pretty colors!!"
This way you can use styles or inner CSS in your mail

If I change my code:
mymessage.Body = "Hello"

by

mymessage.Body = "pretty colors!!" & "Hello"

the mails I send looks like:

pretty colors!!Hello

is there anything else I have to add or change, thanks.

It might help to use

mymessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

I have

Imports System.Net.Mail

not

Imports System.Web.Mail

ok, I found the solution is to use:
mymessage.IsBodyHtml = True

but somebody can send me an example of the code I need to use in html (I don´t know html)

just to send the text in courier new font

My problem is very easy I think, I need to send mails (I have it and it works) but the font must be courier new instead the default font.
