If I was doing a mailing list type email, an announcement to many
patrons, yes. Just a one-to-one for a simple approval email, no.

Still on dialup (not by choice) Uploading a page just to support an
email would be a PITA. Now I do do it when the 'review' requires
graphics too large for a typical email. Then I build a temp page and
send a link in an email. SMTP bloats binary data so it is never a good
transport from large size binary content.
