If the file is local file_get_contents() will do just that -- get the
contents of the file. If you want it to be parsed through PHP then
you need to request it as though you were requesting a webpage:

$email_content = file_get_contents("http://wwww.myserver.com/email.php?
param1=my+email+param+1&param2=my+email+param+2");
