My vote is to keep a plain text version available. I don't use an
html-capable mail reader, so sending a link normally means "I'll save this
and read it later when I have time", which often means I'll delete it
three weeks later in cleaning out my 'READ' mail file...
I like the text version because I can quickly scan it to see if there are
any interesting topics that I missed during the week.
My 2 cents...
