Download asp generated page to html file

Hi

I frequently need to generate html pages for customers to use in opt-in emailed newsletters, with stories drawn from their web database. At the moment I get them to select stories and create a database entry for the newsletter which contains the selected StoryIDs, then preview the page, the page being how the final email will look. They can then view the source of the preview page, and save this as an html file. Problem is that these guys are very 'non-technical' and forget how to do it about every three minutes.

Is there a way to go straight to downloading the html file after the db entry is created, without going through the 'preview, view source, save as' hassle?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Tim P

You shouldn't have to view source. File->Save As should be sufficient.
