How to inline css when using the rails asset pipeline
Instead of having the page include a style tag with a link where to get the css from, which I could add to my view using rails' `stylesheet_link_tag` helper method, I want to have the css inline directly inside the page.

This is what I came up with so far:

    %style(type="text/css")=File.read(physical_asset_path("email.css"))

But I can't find any rails' helper method which gives me the physical path of an asset - `physical_asset_path` is just a dummy method invented by me.

Anybody knows how to get the physical path of an asset when using rails 3.2.x? 

Is there an easier/ better way to get stylesheets - from css files inside the common rails assets paths - inline?

Use case: most email clients don't access external sources (like css, images) without user confirmation. So to get the emails properly displayed I need to embed the css inside the emails' html.
