Getting view as string in asp.net mvc for email sending

Question

I want to use Mailgun (or maybe Sendgrid) to send emails from my app.

This is pretty straightforward cause I can use RestSharp to interact with their api.

The problem lies in the fact that generating an HTML email is a PITA if I cant use razor. I know there are two nuget packages (Postal, MvcMailer) that handle this problem quite nicely but they force me to use a SMTP server and I dont want or need that at all.

I just want to keep using the Mailgun API to send emails but I want to have a way to generate the markup for those emails using Razor.

How can I do this?

Please Help.
