E-mail should be plain text, not HTML. The behavior is correct.
If you want to send a web page to someone, send them the URL so they can
visit the page.

If you NEED to send HTML to someone, zip or compress it into a file and
rename the file so that it does NOT end in .zip (I rename mine ..piz)

The rename is because so many viruses have been sending zip files AND
Micro-soft [in their in-finite wisdom] made their mail client execute some
types of files, automatically, so that now, some ISPs filter out all mail
containing zip files as malicious.
