Research direction

Start by comparing the edition-19 page at https://git.github.io/rev_news/2016/09/14/edition-19/ with the MailChimp template and the formatting that was lost when it was used. Identify how the brown background and existing page formatting are represented; done means a reusable newsletter approach preserves both in MailChimp.

Description

I sent edition 19 using MailChimp but I did not use the template that Nicola had saved.
I tried it but it looked like the result had lost some formatting.
So instead I just used a new template where I just copied the HTML from the web page (https://git.github.io/rev_news/2016/09/14/edition-19/).

The main problem is that the background was white instead of brown. But otherwise the formatting looked better.

It would be nice to find a better solution to have both a good background and proper formatting.
