Scott,
It sure is a good idea to send out a short message to your
subscribers, to get them to your web site, but why shouldn't
you send them a HTML version of your newsletter instead?
IMHO, this works much better, because the message stays on
their computer, the newsletter can be viewed off line (don't
forget there are people -like me- paying for their Internet
acces by the minute), and they can save a copy on their
hard disk after reading.
