That's because you probably have "by default show article summary 
instead of loading web page" checked in your Feeds settings.  I left 
that open and I get the web page loaded full screen within my email and 
I can click on the link (in the header info beneath date)to access the 
webpage. It will open up in a new tab in Firefox.  You can check your 
Feeds settings by double-clicking on "Feeds" in your left sidebar.
