Usually, this is done with the RenderControl() function, which can render a
control (or even a page) on any "surface", also in a mail.
But this would require you to reproduce the same content in a kind of user
control, keeping state in the process.
I would suggest sending the mail in the same page, that would be much
easier.
Try to move the content for the mail to a user control, that you can re-use
both in the page and in the mail.
Group the controls for sending the mail in a panel that you can show and
hide if you need to.
