There is a secret merge field (currently not available in the UI and not listed in the support docs) called [Hosted_Email_Link] that publishes a message online so people can view it in their browser.
However, it only works for the current message. It would be very useful—especially for sequences of messages—to be able to link to *other* emails that have been sent previously.
That way, I could say something like "As you may have seen in yesterday's email" and provide a link to yesterday's email.
One way to approach this would be to allow this merge field to take a Message ID as a parameter, like [Hosted_Email_Link id="4400"] to insert a link to message #4400 in the account.
Please comment if this would be useful to you. Thanks! —Justin

We do list it as a merge field in the Raw HTML Editor as "Hosted Email Link", but it's not in the other email editors. We should get it into the OntraMail, Simple and Quick Email editors as a merge field also. I'll put in a separate feature request for that internally.
Each contact receives a different link so the merge fields are displayed correctly on the web, so your idea has a lot of merit.
