In my application I have a give a word as an editor from where the user can
type the newslatters and then schedule the time when it send to the user's of
portal. This could be 500-1000 mail in a batch.

what I have done is, when user complete and save the document, I convert it
inot the HTML and separete the images into the different folder. When My
mailservice activate to send the mails, i read the Html file a a text
(string) and repalce the images and embed using LikedResouce objects probided
in .net 2.0

Now MY PROBLEM
I found that some of mail service providers like web.de, t-online.de ,
vsnl.net and so the list is long.... are not showing mail content (embeded
images) and some of them are showing the images as attachment not in Mail
Body.
On otherside Outlook(2000 or higher) shows me the perfect email, whatever
complecated i have written in Word.

I tried a lot to resolve and rather just to identify the problem, but now i
am so tired and confused that even i can think other things now.

Please help me if any one of you have an 5% of idea.
Please let me know

This is not really about Word merge, but...
a. All an e-mail client does is to receive an e-mail message (which could
be in many different formats, but MIME is the one widely used today) and
interpret the contents. A typical MIME format e-mail may have several
"parts" and each e-mail client may interpret those parts in different ways.
For example, an e-mail client I still use simply does not know how to
display any graphical information, or HTML (that's why I use it).
b. in other words, whatever you do, there is no guarantee that the
recipient will see what you want. If you want to reach the broadest possible
audience, use plain text and provide links to the material you want people
to see. Unfortunately, if your text is non-ASCII, then the chances are that
something will decide to encode it as a MIME part which may end up as an
attachment.
c. all that said, one of the problems may be the way that your image is
encoded within MIME. If you can look at the encoding of the message that has
actually been sent, you should be able to see how the MIME part that
represents the image is referenced - e.g. it may make a difference whether
or not it is referenced using a "cid:" URL.

And that's about all I know...

Thank you very much for this reply.
Thats true that, I MIME would be the important factor for rendering and
identify the HTML content on the web page. And as far as I know, i checked
almost all the Options.

Anyways I found one thing that, when I am trying to save the document from
my application, it contains so many VML (XML) tag in text and when I tried to
save from word itself it gives me an option says (Filtered HTML). I compare
both of this document and both them are not even 1% smililar. I think this
could be my problem but not sure.
Do you have any suggestion for this, lets discuss or even if you know how to
save the filtered Html document using Word Interop.

I would guess you can do the equivalent of the following using Word Interop:

ActiveDocument.SaveAs _
FileName:="yourfilename", _
FileFormat:=wdFormatFilteredHTML
