Output From Webserver to E-mail

My web site allows me e-mail blogs to it from my boat via high frequency
radio. I don't have Internet access from the boat. These logs include
position data which appears as a google map on the web site. For an
example, please see
http://www.geoffschultz.org/Log_Page.php?id=1128

I also have an e-mail list server to which I e-mail plain text versions of
my blogs. It would be very nice if I could instead e-mail the html output
of the web server blog page.

I have a perl script which processes the incoming e-mail and creates the
sql database entry with blog. What I don't know how to do is to take the
output of the Apache web server and redirect that to a mail message to my
list server.

I hope this makes sense. Any ideas?

I suppose you know that you can get the
content as string of a URL by using something like
the WWW::Mechanize Perl module,
I do not know if this answers your question.

Cool! but not relevant.

Write a shell script to get the latest page and mail it to the list.

I would use bash, wget, and sendmail. I would then call the script from
a cron job (storing the last page read in a configuration file), or even
better call it from the incoming email script.
