How do I extract html, pics and other stuff from email?

I'm signed up to a couple of "newsletters" from software vendors that I've bought stuff from, I just became their affiliate and they have told me that I can use any of their graphics within reason, so in their emails offers to me I get these awesome landing pages within my gmail account when I chose to display the graphics and I want to know if there's a way to extract that exact landing page within the gmail message that I'm looking at so I can sort of reconstruct it as a landing page.

Does anybody know of a way to do this, some kind of software, script or whatever voodoo is necessary?

Thanks

    On Gmail you want to look at the email. and on the right of it you will see the Reply with an arrow, click on that arrow and choose "Show Original" that will bring up a new window, from there you can extract all of the html code starting at "DOCTYPE html PUBLIC" or something simular. you want to copy and paste that info into your wordpad and save as nameofFile.html or anything you'd like to name it, just remember the file extension needs to be HTML.
    From there do what you do...

    Hi @votekick, Is there a way/tool to do the copy-n-create automatically? That is to convert each new email from a newsletter to a html file.

      I don't know if there are any tools out there that do it but it can be done. It's a relatively simple process, how complicated it gets depends on the structure of the gmail html and what you want to extract. PM me if you require more information.

    I would use a proper email client, then just right-click and save any relevant image.

    See designing newsletters is specific to email.

    I do not know if you've already found a solution.
    This is the simplest method:
    www . neuron-webagency . com/shop/eng/convert-eml-to-html

    I have wrote this application that works by uploading a file eml(email source) or by simply forwarding an email.

    It decodes and extracts and provides you with a zip file with html files and images.
    If the images are embedded, it automatically changes in the html the src path by replacing the references to the images.
    I hope i had been useful
