    Your best bet ... would be to have users click on a link that would take them to a live webpage

    moo tools will be of no use as its a html newsletter ... and most email clients won't allow JS to be run. XML is just a data format so that won't be much good to you.

    Seems kind of odd. Why dont you just put the latest news in the mail when you generate it?
