This is my mail Code

$sub = 'my Subject';
$msg = '<html><body>';
$msg .= '<table rules="all" style="border: 1px solid #000000" cellpadding="10">';
$msg .= '<caption style="font-size: 18pt"><strong>Feedback from Customers</strong></caption>';
$msg .= "<tr><td width='25'><strong>Name</strong> </td><td width='60'>".strip_tags($_POST['name'])."</td></tr>";
$msg .= "<tr><td><strong>Email</strong> </td><td>" .strip_tags($_POST['mail']) . "</td></tr>";
$msg .= "<tr><td><strong>Country</strong> </td><td>" .strip_tags($_POST['country']) . "</td></tr>";

The use of an iframe in an email message is not well supported. For more information see the Link. Also it is not the correct way to embed a youtube video in email. If you go to YouTube and share a video via email with yourself you can inspect the html content of that email to discover how you should embed the video properly.
A static-clickable image that will redirect the user back to YouTube.

A playable video(requires flash player)
<embed width="640" height="385" base="https://www.youtube.com/v/" wmode="opaque" id="swfContainer0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Bk_6r-b3kqU?border=0&autoplay=1&client=ytapi-google-gmail&version=3&start=0">
It's because of security, it's the same reason you can't put JavaScript or anything external other than images in an email either - it can give the email too much 'power'. (You can put stuff there, it wont be displayed). Sadly this means no reliable flash support either.
Gmail will parse the YouTube links and actually embed them for people who have it enabled.

From a User Experience perspective, there are a variety of reasons why embedding video on an Email is not a good idea. Consider the following:
