Answer 1

Probably better to reference a webpage containing your silverlight content.

Technically, you could put the path to the .xap hosted on a website into an HTML email body, but nearly all mail clients will not display this - most even prevent images from loading by default.

Answer 2

Most email systems will prevent you from embedding active content like SilverLight, as it presents a security risk. Your only option probably is to put your SilverLight app on the web, and just email a link to it.

Answer 3

Don't if you want your newsletter to be read by anyone. See this article for a good list of do's and don'ts when sending emails.
