Capturing a report as an HTML string

Question

I need to run a report from within PL/SQL and capture the resulting data as a string. I will use the string to build an email. This will enable the email and the report to look similar without maintaining two sets of code.
I am at a loss. Please suggest some references or send me a code sample.
Thanks

Rough,incomplete code sample
l_req := utl_http.begin_request(l_url);
l_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_req);
while (not done) loop
   utl_http.read_raw(l_resp,l_data);
   dbms_lob.write(l_text,utl_raw.length(l_data),l_offset,utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(l_data));
   l_offset := l_offset + utl_raw.length(l_data);
   if (utl_raw.length(l_data) < 3000) then         -- 3000 is the size of the RAW variable
      done := TRUE;
   end if;
end loop;
utl_http.end_response(l_resp);
