IMO, E is correct.
a) you should included a self-addressed, stamped envelope
Wrong.
- Should + past tense ==> incorrect.
b) it is recommended that you would be including a self-addressed, stamped envelope
Wrong.
- The structure should be parallel: when you send....., you should............ ==> "it is recommended that" is not appropriate.
- "Would be + Ving" is the past tense of "will be + Ving" ==> you mention a thing in the past. For instance: I didn't go to the party last night because I would be going to class. ==> B changes meaning.
c) a self-addressed, stamped envelope is that which you should be including
Wrong.
- "a self-addressed, stamped envelope" ==> Plural ==> "are" should be used.
- "that which" is incorrect grammar.
d) you might should have included a self-addressed, stamped envelope
Wrong.
- "should have included" is used to indicate an obligation that was supposed to have occurred in the past.
- "might should" is incorrect.
e) you might ought to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope
Correct.
- might ought to = might have to ==> mentions uncertainty

I am not sure about the universality of this example; But I feel, it might be an archaic form, if it is true that E is the correct answer as the poster makes out, because there is some dilemma about this structure. First, might is a modal that indicates the mood of partial possibility and more of equi-vocality, whereas ought to indicates comparatively a cent per cent certainty. The question is whether we can combine a half possibility with a full possibility?
Second, I haven’t seen so far GMAT examples of this type. Has anyone?
