You'd need to learn to HTML coding so that you can embed such items in a RichText/HTML message.
You can view this coding if you examine such an email's Source. Here's an example which includes an embedded advertisement and links [ignore the content]:
==============================
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="MARGIN: 0px">
<TABLE dir=ltr style="BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0

border=0>
<thead><tr><td valign="bottom" colspan="2"><img src="http://ads1.msn.com/ads/pronws/CIQ/HMML/dav/WLMemberLetterBanner_dav.jpg"; alt=""></td></tr></thead>
<TBODY>

<P>Dear Microsoft Outlook Express customer,</P>
<P>Thank you for using Microsoft® Outlook® Express. Our
information indicates that you use Outlook Express to access a
Windows Live™ Hotmail® e-mail account via a protocol called
DAV (Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol). DAV, like
POP3 or IMAP, is the way that a mail client communicates with
a web-based mail server.</P>
<P>As a valued customer, we want to provide advanced notice
that as of June 30, 2008, Microsoft is disabling the DAV
protocol and you will no longer be able to access your Hotmail
Inbox via Outlook Express. As an alternative, we recommend
that you download Windows Live Mail, a free desktop e-mail
client that has the familiarity of Outlook Express and much
more. This next generation of free e-mail software will
allow you to easily manage multiple e-mail accounts—including
Windows Live Hotmail, plus other e-mail accounts that support
POP3/IMAP. Better yet, Windows Live Mail integrates well with
other Windows Live services, and downloads in minutes. After
you provide your user name and password, you will
automatically be linked to your Hotmail account, providing
continued access to your email and contacts. </P>
<P>We encourage you to download Windows Live Mail at <A

href=http://microsoft.msn.com/Key=11872.NjKC.C.CY.MqYc1W >http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview</A>.</P>
<P>And, to make your transition smoother, we've provided
answers to frequently asked questions below. </P>
<P>Again, thank you for your use of Outlook Express and we are
confident that you'll be just as delighted with the new Windows
Live Mail.</P>
<P>Your Windows Live Mail team</P>
<P><STRONG></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><EM>Frequently asked questions:</EM></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><EM>Why are we disabling DAV?</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>DAV is a legacy protocol that is not well suited for client
access to large inboxes. Over time, as we've provided more
e-mail storage to our users—and now offer 5GB inboxes for
<EM>free</EM>—a more efficient access protocol is needed. </P>
<P><STRONG><EM>What are we replacing DAV
with?</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>We have developed a new, much more efficient protocol
called DeltaSynch that is far superior to DAV especially for
large e-mail inboxes. It enables email clients to only
download changes since the last time the client polled the
email server for changes. This is much more efficient and high
performing than having to download all the headers in every
folder as is the case with DAV. </P>
<P><STRONG><EM>Is DeltaSynch compatible with Outlook
Express?</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>The new protocol unfortunately is NOT supported by Outlook
Express and support would require too many changes to the
Outlook Express software. </P>
<P><STRONG><EM>Is there a different or new mail client I can
try that uses DeltaSynch?</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>Microsoft is providing Windows Live Mail, a free e-mail
client that has the familiarity of Outlook Express and much
more. This free, next generation email client enables
users to easily manage multiple e-mail accounts including
Windows Live Hotmail and other e-mail accounts that support
POP3/IMAP. Windows Live Mail also integrates well with other
Windows Live services, is optimized to work with Windows Live
Hotmail, and offers: </P>
<UL>
<LI>Offline mail
<LI>Windows Live Hotmail account aggregation for those users
with multiple Hotmail accounts
<LI>Account aggregation for POP and IMAP mail accounts
<LI>Rich photo-sharing capabilities
<LI>Advanced search via integration with Desktop Search
<LI>Safety tools (Anti-Virus scanning, anti-phishing,
anti-spam features across aggregated accounts for customers
who do not have an Anti-Virus product)
<LI>Integration with Windows Live services including Windows
Live Spaces
<LI>RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feed aggregation
<LI>Ability to send SMS (short message service) text to a
mobile phone from Windows Live Mail</LI></UL>
<P><STRONG><EM>Where can I download the new Windows Live Mail
client?</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>You can download the new client at <A title=""
href=http://microsoft.msn.com/Key=11872.NjKC.C.CY.MqYc1W >http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview</A>.</P>

Sorry, but it seems that nobody here understood what I'm asking about. Have
u ever received an e-mail from microsoft or any advertisment from any
company? sure everyone received. When u look at these e-mails u received
from microsoft for example, u wont find any attachments, although there r
many pics inside. u can also find text beside pics, or text before and
after the pic. I mean u can find a pic then text then another pic then
another text and so on. So they dont attach or upload these pics, they may
do something like paste it inside the message. That is what I wanna know. I
wanna know how can I make an e-mail like those e-mails I received from
these companies. Try to do an e-mail like that and tell me how did u do it
pls.
Thanks for help
