I would look into using the l() [1] function for this. It would look
something like this:

<?php l('<img src="' . base_path() . path_to_theme() .
'/images/read-more.gif" width="120" height="40" alt="" />',
 'node/'. $node->nid, array(
   'attributes' => array(
     'title' => t($node->links["node_read_more"]["attributes"]["title"]),
     'class' => 'readmore',
   ),
   'html' => TRUE,
),
?>

The indentation is all off because this is email, but you can read up on
l() and look at what I'm doing with this example and probably get it
right. This should assure that you can move the site around safely.

Hope that helps,
