Yes, in the view code :_)

But you don't mean this, you mean 'in Catalyst::View::Email'

Time to not be using Catalyst::View::EMail then :)

I'd recommend just sub-classing either your existing (or a new) TT  
view, and using around render => sub {... to do whatever you want with  
Email::Stuff, taking the document you've just rendered with TT, and  
the other attachments and doing the right thing.
