Adding a Google Plus (one or share) link to an email newsletter

I am trying to find a way to embed a share/+1 link for Google+ in a Newsletter, much like the Facebook share and tweeter tweet links can be embedded in a newsletter, which can be achieved with the following two urls:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=[URL]&t=[TEXT]
http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=sharethiscom&text=[TEXT]&url=[URL]

Is there a similar functionality available for Google Plus?

All I could find on my own, is the Google+ button, which unfortunately uses JavaScript and thus it cannot be used in an email newsletter. I would expect Google to provide a static url fallback, but I cannot find it anywhere.

This one works fine for me :

https://plus.google.com/share?url=your-page-url

There has got to be a way to do this by hacking the +1 script.

If you are interested in just changing the apperance you should download and modify this to suit your requirements.

Then, add this to your css:

.Uu .KF {
    background: url("your-replacement-image") no-repeat scroll -132px -21px transparent !important;
}

to override the Google icons. However, this is probably very unstable and subject to change.
