Can you view the finished email as a string, rather than a ViewResult? #146

I'm using Postal from a class deep within my app, so it's not being called from a controller. I'd like to just see the rendered output as a string. Is this possible?

If you use the Postal.EmailService.CreateMailMessage method to convert it to a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage object, you can inspect the MailMessage.Body property to view the body as a string.

It's outlined here http://aboutcode.net/postal/create-mail-message.html
