For anything else than a plain text message, you need to pack the body
in MIME-headers, telling the MUA how to render the content. 
In your case, you need to tell the MUA its a HTML-message.
The headers should contain 
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Take a look at the MimeWriter-module.
