Not if it has local dependencies, like js or css, then you would need to bundle those as well, in an archive perhaps.

You can include js and css in the same html file, between <script> and <style> tags.

Duh, that's if I build the page myself and I know how to code html. Even then it's not trivial in the sense that it will "just work".

For the purposes of email inclusion, there's really no reason not to inline all that stuff.
