How to I add a "view in browser" link to my HTML emails?

I am creating a newsletter to go out to my customers and need to include an option to view the email in the clients browser. How do I do this?

Hey Clare,

Do you have the HTML email on your company's website somewhere?  If not, you need to host it on your site somewhere so you can get a link!

Afterwards, just add something like this to your email:
<a href="linkToYourHtmlEmailPage">View in browser</a>

Hope this helps!

Most Email / Newsletter application like mailchimp or constantContact have this inbuilt, but Salesforce does not have out of the box 
  1. You can either host the HTML in your external server as .html files and refer the URL for the email everytime (which might not work out in the long run)
  2. Go for an emailing solution like Constant Contact and integrate it with your salesforce ORG from the appExchange App
