I'm sure it's a scope issue of something or other, but I have no idea what
without seeing your code.

Sure!

1) would be better as long as you're using at least close to the same 
number of
pieces of information. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it. I wouldn't try to
re-use templates, though. Just re-use the generation of information in the big
loop in mailbox.php.
