What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?

  - man can directly output to any listed groff device, including  ps, dvi,
    X75, X100, ascii, ascii8, latin1, nippon, lj4, and html.  AFAIK, these
    objects can be embedded into a LaTeX document. 

  - 'Email' covers a lot of ground, and can be anything from raw ascii to
    multiple embedded MIME formats.  There are various conversion tools to
    produce formatted output from several common formats, including text,
    HTML, RTF, and a number of proprietary and/or binary file formats.

  - texinfo is already TeX, a superset of LaTeX.
