I produce interactive graphs using dygraph.
I can view them in the "Viewer" window in R studio and in a browser.
What is the most convenient way to save these plots (es html?)?
Can I mail them?
I run R studio 0.98.507 and
sessionInfo() gives:

htmlwidgets have a saveWidget function which lets you save the full visualization out as a standalone (or composite) HTML file.
As Miha said, you can knit them as well.
If you don't need the interactivity (which is unlikely in the case of dygraphs) you can also use SVG Crowbar 2 to save out the SVG from the displayed visualization in a browser.
With regard to the "knitting", here's a sample R Markdown document with a dygraph in it:
---
title: "dygraphs knit example"
author: "Bob Rudis (@hrbrmstr)"
date: "March 17, 2015"
output: html_document
---
```{r}
library(dygraphs)
dygraph(nhtemp, main = "New Haven Temperatures") %>%
dyRangeSelector(dateWindow = c("1920-01-01", "1960-01-01"))
```
Knit that in RStudio and it'll generate a self-contained HTML with the visualization.
From the dygraphs for R website:
You can use dygraphs within R Markdown documents just like any other R
plotting function. However, rather than a PNG file being included in
your document, the JavaScript required to render your dygraph is
included.
It means that (from within Rstudio), using knitr and Rmarkdown packages, you can knit a standalone html document that includes dygraphs. You can email the html file if you like.
