I don't view it as a hack, because I've found this to be very useful
in the main application for generating the email just via another view
call.

I also use this wrapper, and then other tweaks, for generating the
"Print Receipt" mechanism.

This is also in contrast with a "partial" wrapper, which doesn't
provide the email-friendly header/footer stuff.

If you don't need that, a second view is probably the easier way to do it.
