Mr. Offer, as usual, is correct (conforming to my personal protocal) to advise CUT/PASTE

However, it is also best on "protected/gif-inserted/html-linked" pages to cut/paste FIRST into a plain-jane such as NOTEPAD.

You want to REMOVE - all IMBEDDED (hidden) hyperlinks.

You want pure TEXT and you want to remove the moving gifs etc.

For authenticity, valididation, you can also "save to file" the Logos, Banners, Headings, Dates peculiar to the particular article .... and insert them into the format of your e-mail as a "picture."

It sometimes takes A-LOT-OF-WORK on your part....to make the reading of an e-mail simple for the reciever.

Writers are paid, subscriptions sought, and most everyone is looking for a "buck" paid on placement and clicks.

IF the article is good enough....and your friends are worth the time .... cut/paste ........you already paid the dime simplifying communication on the i-net is not a crime.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
