Is there a way to create an email attachment on the fly, without an actual file?

I want to send an HTML email that also includes the HTML as an attachment. The Email class lets you attach files:

Code:

$this->email->attach('/path/to/photo1.jpg');

But what if I want to attach an HTML file without actually writing an HTML file to the file system?

You'd have to extend the email library. The built in email library only workes with files. Alternately, you can write a file, send the email, then delete all the files you created. Not the most elegant way to do it, but it probably takes less time/effort than extending the library.
