+= Action Mailer -- Easy email delivery and testing
+
+Action Mailer is a framework for designing email-service layers. These layers
+are used to consolidate code for sending out forgotten passwords, welcome
+wishes on signup, invoices for billing, and any other use case that requires
+a written notification to either a person or another system.
+
+Additionally, an Action Mailer class can be used to process incoming email,
+such as allowing a weblog to accept new posts from an email (which could even
+have been sent from a phone).
+
+== Sending emails
+
+The framework works by setting up all the email details, except the body,
+in methods on the service layer. Subject, recipients, sender, and timestamp
+are all set up this way. An example of such a method:
+
+  def signed_up(recipient)
+    recipients recipient
+    subject    "[Signed up] Welcome #{recipient}"
+    from       "system@loudthinking.com"
+    body       :recipient => recipient
+  end
+
+The body of the email is created by using an Action View template (regular
+ERb) that has the content of the body hash parameter available as instance variables. 
+So the corresponding body template for the method above could look like this:
+
+  Hello there, 
+
+  Mr. <%= @recipient %>
+  
+And if the recipient was given as "david@loudthinking.com", the email 
+generated would look like this:
+
+  Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0100
+  From: system@loudthinking.com
+  To: david@loudthinking.com
+  Subject: [Signed up] Welcome david@loudthinking.com
+
+  Hello there, 
+
+  Mr. david@loudthinking.com
+
+You never actually call the instance methods like signed_up directly. Instead,
+you call class methods like deliver_* and create_* that are automatically
+created for each instance method. So if the signed_up method sat on
+ApplicationMailer, it would look like this:
+
+  ApplicationMailer.create_signed_up("david@loudthinking.com")  # => tmail object for testing
+  ApplicationMailer.deliver_signed_up("david@loudthinking.com") # sends the email
+  ApplicationMailer.new.signed_up("david@loudthinking.com")     # won't work!
+
+== Receiving emails
+
+To receive emails, you need to implement a public instance method called receive that takes a
+tmail object as its single parameter. The Action Mailer framework has a corresponding class method, 
+which is also called receive, that accepts a raw, unprocessed email as a string, which it then turns
+into the tmail object and calls the receive instance method.
+
+Example:
+
+  class Mailman < ActionMailer::Base
+    def receive(email)
+      page = Page.find_by_address(email.to.first)
+      page.emails.create(
+        :subject => email.subject, :body => email.body
+      )
+
+      if email.has_attachments?
+        for attachment in email.attachments
+          page.attachments.create({ 
+            :file => attachment, :description => email.subject
+          })
+        end
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+This Mailman can be the target for Postfix or other MTAs. In Rails, you would use the runner in the 
+trivial case like this:
+
+  ./script/runner 'Mailman.receive(STDIN.read)'
+
+However, invoking Rails in the runner for each mail to be received is very resource intensive.  A single 
+instance of Rails should be run within a daemon if it is going to be utilized to process more than just 
+a limited number of email.
+
+== Configuration
+
+The Base class has the full list of configuration options. Here's an example:
+
+  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
+    :address        => 'smtp.yourserver.com', # default: localhost
+    :port           => '25',                  # default: 25
+    :user_name      => 'user',
+    :password       => 'pass',
+    :authentication => :plain                 # :plain, :login or :cram_md5
+  }
+

+  # Action Mailer allows you to send email from your application using a mailer model and views.
+  #
+  #
+  # = Mailer Models
+  #
+  # To use Action Mailer, you need to create a mailer model.
+  #
+  #   $ script/generate mailer Notifier
+  #
+  # The generated model inherits from ActionMailer::Base. Emails are defined by creating methods within the model which are then
+  # used to set variables to be used in the mail template, to change options on the mail, or
+  # to add attachments.
+  #
+  # Examples:
+  #
+  #  class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
+  #    def signup_notification(recipient)
+  #      recipients recipient.email_address_with_name
+  #      from       "system@example.com"
+  #      subject    "New account information"
+  #      body       :account => recipient
+  #    end
+  #  end
+  #
+  # Mailer methods have the following configuration methods available.
+  #
+  # * <tt>recipients</tt> - Takes one or more email addresses. These addresses are where your email will be delivered to. Sets the <tt>To:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>subject</tt> - The subject of your email. Sets the <tt>Subject:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>from</tt> - Who the email you are sending is from. Sets the <tt>From:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>cc</tt> - Takes one or more email addresses. These addresses will receive a carbon copy of your email. Sets the <tt>Cc:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>bcc</tt> - Takes one or more email addresses. These addresses will receive a blind carbon copy of your email. Sets the <tt>Bcc:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>reply_to</tt> - Takes one or more email addresses. These addresses will be listed as the default recipients when replying to your email. Sets the <tt>Reply-To:</tt> header.
+  # * <tt>sent_on</tt> - The date on which the message was sent. If not set, the header wil be set by the delivery agent.
+  # * <tt>content_type</tt> - Specify the content type of the message. Defaults to <tt>text/plain</tt>.
+  # * <tt>headers</tt> - Specify additional headers to be set for the message, e.g. <tt>headers 'X-Mail-Count' => 107370</tt>.
+  #
+  # When a <tt>headers 'return-path'</tt> is specified, that value will be used as the 'envelope from'
+  # address. Setting this is useful when you want delivery notifications sent to a different address than
+  # the one in <tt>from</tt>.
+  #
+  # The <tt>body</tt> method has special behavior. It takes a hash which generates an instance variable
+  # named after each key in the hash containing the value that that key points to.
+  #
+  # So, for example, <tt>body :account => recipient</tt> would result
+  # in an instance variable <tt>@account</tt> with the value of <tt>recipient</tt> being accessible in the
+  # view.
+  #
+  #
+  # = Mailer views
+  #
+  # Like Action Controller, each mailer class has a corresponding view directory
+  # in which each method of the class looks for a template with its name.
+  # To define a template to be used with a mailing, create an <tt>.erb</tt> file with the same name as the method
+  # in your mailer model. For example, in the mailer defined above, the template at
+  # <tt>app/views/notifier/signup_notification.erb</tt> would be used to generate the email.
+  #
+  # Variables defined in the model are accessible as instance variables in the view.
+  #
+  # Emails by default are sent in plain text, so a sample view for our model example might look like this:
+  #
+  #   Hi <%= @account.name %>,
+  #   Thanks for joining our service! Please check back often.
+  #
+  # You can even use Action Pack helpers in these views. For example:
+  #
+  #   You got a new note!
+  #   <%= truncate(note.body, 25) %>
+  #
+  #
+  # = Generating URLs
+  #
+  # URLs can be generated in mailer views using <tt>url_for</tt> or named routes.
+  # Unlike controllers from Action Pack, the mailer instance doesn't have any context about the incoming request,
+  # so you'll need to provide all of the details needed to generate a URL.
+  #
+  # When using <tt>url_for</tt> you'll need to provide the <tt>:host</tt>, <tt>:controller</tt>, and <tt>:action</tt>:
+  #
+  #   <%= url_for(:host => "example.com", :controller => "welcome", :action => "greeting") %>
+  #
+  # When using named routes you only need to supply the <tt>:host</tt>:
+  #
+  #   <%= users_url(:host => "example.com") %>
+  #
+  # You will want to avoid using the <tt>name_of_route_path</tt> form of named routes because it doesn't make sense to
+  # generate relative URLs in email messages.
+  #
+  # It is also possible to set a default host that will be used in all mailers by setting the <tt>:host</tt> option in
+  # the <tt>ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options</tt> hash as follows:
+  #
+  #   ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "example.com"
+  #
+  # This can also be set as a configuration option in <tt>config/environment.rb</tt>:
+  #
+  #   config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "example.com" }
+  #
+  # If you do decide to set a default <tt>:host</tt> for your mailers you will want to use the
+  # <tt>:only_path => false</tt> option when using <tt>url_for</tt>. This will ensure that absolute URLs are generated because
+  # the <tt>url_for</tt> view helper will, by default, generate relative URLs when a <tt>:host</tt> option isn't
+  # explicitly provided.
+  #
+  # = Sending mail
+  #
+  # Once a mailer action and template are defined, you can deliver your message or create it and save it
+  # for delivery later:
+  #
+  #   Notifier.deliver_signup_notification(david) # sends the email
+  #   mail = Notifier.create_signup_notification(david)  # => a tmail object
+  #   Notifier.deliver(mail)
+  #
+  # You never instantiate your mailer class. Rather, your delivery instance
+  # methods are automatically wrapped in class methods that start with the word
+  # <tt>deliver_</tt> followed by the name of the mailer method that you would
+  # like to deliver. The <tt>signup_notification</tt> method defined above is
+  # delivered by invoking <tt>Notifier.deliver_signup_notification</tt>.
+  #
+  #
+  # = HTML email
+  #
+  # To send mail as HTML, make sure your view (the <tt>.erb</tt> file) generates HTML and
+  # set the content type to html.
+  #
+  #   class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base
+  #     def signup_notification(recipient)
+  #       recipients   recipient.email_address_with_name
+  #       subject      "New account information"
+  #       from         "system@example.com"
+  #       body         :account => recipient
+  #       content_type "text/html"
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  #
+  # = Multipart email
+  #
+  # You can explicitly specify multipart messages:
+  #
+  #   class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
+  #     def signup_notification(recipient)
+  #       recipients      recipient.email_address_with_name
+  #       subject         "New account information"
+  #       from            "system@example.com"
+  #       content_type    "multipart/alternative"
+  #
+  #       part :content_type => "text/html",
+  #         :body => render_message("signup-as-html", :account => recipient)
+  #
+  #       part "text/plain" do |p|
+  #         p.body = render_message("signup-as-plain", :account => recipient)
+  #         p.transfer_encoding = "base64"
+  #       end
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  # Multipart messages can also be used implicitly because Action Mailer will automatically
+  # detect and use multipart templates, where each template is named after the name of the action, followed
+  # by the content type. Each such detected template will be added as separate part to the message.
+  #
+  # For example, if the following templates existed:
+  # * signup_notification.text.plain.erb
+  # * signup_notification.text.html.erb
+  # * signup_notification.text.xml.builder
+  # * signup_notification.text.x-yaml.erb
+  #
+  # Each would be rendered and added as a separate part to the message,
+  # with the corresponding content type. The content type for the entire
+  # message is automatically set to <tt>multipart/alternative</tt>, which indicates
+  # that the email contains multiple different representations of the same email
+  # body. The same body hash is passed to each template.
+  #
+  # Implicit template rendering is not performed if any attachments or parts have been added to the email.
+  # This means that you'll have to manually add each part to the email and set the content type of the email
+  # to <tt>multipart/alternative</tt>.
+  #
+  # = Attachments
+  #
+  # Attachments can be added by using the +attachment+ method.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #
+  #   class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
+  #     # attachments
+  #     def signup_notification(recipient)
+  #       recipients      recipient.email_address_with_name
+  #       subject         "New account information"
+  #       from            "system@example.com"
+  #
+  #       attachment :content_type => "image/jpeg",
+  #         :body => File.read("an-image.jpg")
+  #
+  #       attachment "application/pdf" do |a|
+  #         a.body = generate_your_pdf_here()
+  #       end
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  #
+  # = Configuration options
+  #
+  # These options are specified on the class level, like <tt>ActionMailer::Base.template_root = "/my/templates"</tt>
+  #
+  # * <tt>template_root</tt> - Determines the base from which template references will be made.
+  #
+  # * <tt>logger</tt> - the logger is used for generating information on the mailing run if available.
+  #   Can be set to nil for no logging. Compatible with both Ruby's own Logger and Log4r loggers.
+  #
+  # * <tt>smtp_settings</tt> - Allows detailed configuration for <tt>:smtp</tt> delivery method:
+  #   * <tt>:address</tt> - Allows you to use a remote mail server. Just change it from its default "localhost" setting.
+  #   * <tt>:port</tt> - On the off chance that your mail server doesn't run on port 25, you can change it.
+  #   * <tt>:domain</tt> - If you need to specify a HELO domain, you can do it here.
+  #   * <tt>:user_name</tt> - If your mail server requires authentication, set the username in this setting.
+  #   * <tt>:password</tt> - If your mail server requires authentication, set the password in this setting.
+  #   * <tt>:authentication</tt> - If your mail server requires authentication, you need to specify the authentication type here. 
+  #     This is a symbol and one of <tt>:plain</tt>, <tt>:login</tt>, <tt>:cram_md5</tt>.
+  #
+  # * <tt>sendmail_settings</tt> - Allows you to override options for the <tt>:sendmail</tt> delivery method.
+  #   * <tt>:location</tt> - The location of the sendmail executable. Defaults to <tt>/usr/sbin/sendmail</tt>.
+  #   * <tt>:arguments</tt> - The command line arguments. Defaults to <tt>-i -t</tt>.
+  #
+  # * <tt>raise_delivery_errors</tt> - Whether or not errors should be raised if the email fails to be delivered.
+  #
+  # * <tt>delivery_method</tt> - Defines a delivery method. Possible values are <tt>:smtp</tt> (default), <tt>:sendmail</tt>, and <tt>:test</tt>.
+  #
+  # * <tt>perform_deliveries</tt> - Determines whether <tt>deliver_*</tt> methods are actually carried out. By default they are,
+  #   but this can be turned off to help functional testing.
+  #
+  # * <tt>deliveries</tt> - Keeps an array of all the emails sent out through the Action Mailer with <tt>delivery_method :test</tt>. Most useful
+  #   for unit and functional testing.
+  #
+  # * <tt>default_charset</tt> - The default charset used for the body and to encode the subject. Defaults to UTF-8. You can also 
+  #   pick a different charset from inside a method with +charset+.
+  # * <tt>default_content_type</tt> - The default content type used for the main part of the message. Defaults to "text/plain". You
+  #   can also pick a different content type from inside a method with +content_type+. 
+  # * <tt>default_mime_version</tt> - The default mime version used for the message. Defaults to <tt>1.0</tt>. You
+  #   can also pick a different value from inside a method with +mime_version+.
+  # * <tt>default_implicit_parts_order</tt> - When a message is built implicitly (i.e. multiple parts are assembled from templates
+  #   which specify the content type in their filenames) this variable controls how the parts are ordered. Defaults to
+  #   <tt>["text/html", "text/enriched", "text/plain"]</tt>. Items that appear first in the array have higher priority in the mail client
+  #   and appear last in the mime encoded message. You can also pick a different order from inside a method with
+  #   +implicit_parts_order+.
