I receive ezines from five different places. All five of them are sent in
HTML format. When I have my email client set to view attachments as icons,
all of the ezines appear as an HTML attachment. I personally save the
attachment in its own folder and read or reread at my pleasure. If you want a
list of these ezines to view how they produce their emails, send a request to
me personally.
