While I agree HTML emails are terrible. While I feel link shorteners are terrible. I think that the proper solution would be to provide a link to the blog, and a source (if you must), since this is information that the *nix community should know, and while this is the improper distrobution platform, the proper one is not going to authorize use by this information. But yeah - email is text, keep it that way. Then ignore the vitriol.
