I would create mail body as view unless you are going to be making a solution where your customers want to customize the mail template. in that case you would want perhaps to save it to database.

Just make a mailer.php helper class file with the necessary code from the docs. Make a view for your mail and off you go.

What I do for dynamicly creating templates is save the form input as a file. To keep with view process provided by defaults I save them in views/email. Though technically you can save where ever. With blade.php at the end of the file name.
Save the file location, file name and meta data (name, use etc..) in a db table. When you fire off an email use the file name variable as the view and use any dynamic data as per the docs.
When a user updates, I find it easier to replace the file (delete current and save new).
