Two or more of the mailing lists I'm on have stopped sending me emails
with much more than a weblink in them. Personally, I think it's a
pain to click on a link and have to read on the web, but more
importantly, I'm curious. What has prompted this? Has the cost of
email for mass emailers gone up, so that they save money by sending
shorter emails?

Thanks

They want you to go to their website so you can view their ads.

Thanks.

Normally I would have thought that, but so many changed at one time,
and two of them are non-profits.

The previous system was I would read the email itself, and go to the
website to see more of the same. Their advantage over all the other
worthwhile websites was that they emailed me. Right to me. Now they
just email me a topic, and after a few weeks, no topic sounds
interesting enough to click on.
