Hi Patrick, I don't think you would be able to use PHP in an email as it needs a server to run.

You may be able to achieve a similar workflow using Hammer for Mac. When working you can use Hammer's HTML includes. When you are finished you can "build" your project which will compile everything together in one HTML document that you could use for the email.

Alternatively you could still use PHP to make the email, view it in a browser, then copy the source of the displayed page and save that as one file.
