[TYPO3-formidable] Re-Render form in actionlet to send content by mail

[JéŽrô™me Schneider]

Dear Martin,

I think you'd be better off by using a dedicated template for the mail, 
rather than re-render the application for inclusion in an email.

In the php code behind your actionlet, you could do something like:

I hope this will help you.
