You *really* don't want to do that. The thing to do is to publish
your newsletter online, and send out a brief, *text* email, that has
headlines and links back to your website. Far too many people will be
unable to read your html email, or mad that you sent them a large,
formatted (and broken) email. Also, you really want to use the email
news to entice people back to your site. There you can engage them in
many ways, get them to donate or to take action, etc.
If you are convinced that you want to send the newsletter in an
email, it's a better idea to buy Adobe Acrobat (or get it donated
through Gifts in Kind) and turn the newsletter into a PDF file. Far
fewer people will receive broken versions of your newsletter. (Though
many still will.)
