Yes I need everything. The user has to open the Html and see the page like he will see it in internet. — Jedi Master Spooky

Well, you'll have to do it at the server to be able to e-mail - so at worst, simply:

using(WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
    string html = client.DownloadString(address);
}

It might also be possible to do it directly within MVC - perhaps RenderPartial?

You could create a Result Filter or override the OnResultExecuted method of the controller to get access to the rendered page.
