wget will get you the raw html / whatever files, then maybe tar and mail
them.

quick and dirty script I threw together as a proof of concept (note it
probably won't work, due to extra breaks being introduced for Usenet)

  | #!/bin/bash
  | 
  | cd /tmp || exit 1
  | 
  | 
  | wget -q --random-wait -4 -P "$1" \
  | -U 
  | "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0" \
  | [... more options here if you like ...] $1
  | 
  | tar -czvf "$1.tgz" ./"$1"
  | 
  | echo "got it" | mutt -s "grabbed site $1" -a "$1.tgz" -- you@domain.com
