Is it possible to convert your SMS into HTML files to view in your phone's browser?

I currently have very basic phone with unlimited texting but no data plan. At the moment, I really can't justify getting a data plan. I've found that it is possible to have my gmail forwarded to my phone via SMS, however, unless the e-mail is plain text, it just doesn't come out right. I'm just wondering if it's possible to have my gmail forwarded as a text message, then have the ability to view that text message as an HTML file, which would, hopefully, allow me to receive (legible) e-mails to my phone without a data plan. I know it's more than likely not possible on my LG CF360, but I'd be willing to upgrade if this was possible on another phone.

Any help regarding this matter would greatly be appreciated. I had asked around on mobile sites, and a few people mentioned having to have some sort of parser to do this. I wouldn't mind looking into how to go about doing it, but I just want to know if it's possible, and what's the best direction to take.

I feel like I'll have a hard time doing this on the phone, so the best thing I could come up with was somehow converting my e-mails to an image file then forwarding that image as a MMS message. If this is possible, any help on how to go about doing this would be fantastic.
