Well, it uses your view template as it is configured.  So, it will use
the wrapper if one exists.  The way I get around this is to wrap the
wrapper.  Something like this:

[%
IF page.wrapper == 'email';
    content;
ELSE;
    # normal wrapper;
END;
%]

You can then just set page.wrapper = 'email' in all of your *email*
templates and it will work.
