That all looks like it should work. If you're checking the mail in Gmail it won't render as html because you have an <html> and <body> tag included in the email. This is true for other web email clients as well since if you think about it, if you're viewing the email on the web the page will already have both of those tags and they're not supposed to be duplicated.
I'd try stripping your email down to only the content you want to display and trying it again.
