I haven't tried any e-mail-to-web gateways lately myself, but there is
a FAQ on the subject entitled "Accessing The Internet By E-Mail".  The
FAQ file is itself available via e-mail.  To retrieve it, send an
e-mail message to "mail-server at rtfm.mit.edu" with the following line in
the BODY of the message:

  send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email

Web-impaired users who have FTP access can retrieve it directly at:

  ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email

If you find that gateways mentioned in the FAQ are not operational,
I would recommend contacting its author.  But see the "Before You Write"
section of the FAQ first.  Good luck.
