Cheers for the thoughts Donald,
I did this:
import DocumentTemplate
from Acquisition import Implicit

def doit(self):
        template_str = str(self.modulecontributor)
        template_str2 = '''<table>
<tr><td bgcolor=silver colspan=2>This data is being dynamically generated from a database</td></tr>

<dtml-let result="info_from_email(email=content)">
<dtml-in result>
<tr><td><dtml-var Title> <dtml-var Surname></td></tr>
</dtml-in>
</dtml-let>
</table>'''

        template = DocumentTemplate.HTML(template_str2
)
        return template(content='hirst')

and I still get a traceback 
<!--
 Error type:  NameError
 Error value: info_from_email
 -->

I am plodding through as much Zope source as I can to try and find an example of correct usage...nowt yet.
