        const string fromPassword = "xxxxxxxxxx";
        const string subject = "Subject";
        var smtp = new SmtpClient
        {
            Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
            Port = 587,
            EnableSsl = true,
            DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
            UseDefaultCredentials = false,
            Timeout = 20000,
            Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
        };
        var message = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress);
        message.Subject = subject;
        if (p.Civilite == "Mr")
            message.Body += "Bonjour Mr. " + " " + p.Nom + " " + p.Prenom + " ,l'historique de navigation de votre enfant " + e.pseudo + " est: ";
        else
            message.Body += "Bonjour M. " + " " + p.Nom + " " + p.Prenom + " ,l'historique de navigation de votre enfant " + e.pseudo + " est: ";
        message.Body += "<table width='100%' style='border:Solid 1px Black;'>";
        foreach (var item in list)
        {
            message.Body += "<tr>";
            message.Body += "<td stlye='color:blue;'>" + item.url + "</td>" + "<td stlye='color:blue;'>" + item.StartDate + "</td>" + "<td stlye='color:blue;'>" + item.FinishDate + "</td>";

        }
        message.Body += "</table>";
        smtp.Send(message);

Setting IsBodyHtml to true allows you to use HTML tags in the message body:

message.IsBodyHtml = true;
