You can't really do that with email. you can't guarantee that your 
recipients will even be able to read html email. Even if they can, email 
clients often only render a limited subset of HTML - the ones that don't 
limit what they render are a security hazard.

You can include links to web pages in plain text email, and generally 
people will be able to click through to the page.

If you must write an HTML newsletter, do it in a mail client that can 
generate HTML. Don't do it by cutting and pasting from some other HTML tool.
