Module: ActionMailer::PartContainer

Accessors and helpers that ActionMailer::Base and ActionMailer::Part have in common. Using these helpers you can easily add subparts or attachments to your message:

  def my_mail_message(...)
    ...
    part "text/plain" do |p|
      p.body "hello, world"
      p.transfer_encoding "base64"
    end

    attachment "image/jpg" do |a|
      a.body = File.read("hello.jpg")
      a.filename = "hello.jpg"
    end
  end

Public Instance methods

attachment(params, &block)

Add an attachment to a multipart message. This is simply a part with the content-disposition set to "attachment".

[Source]

# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/part_container.rb, line 34
    def attachment(params, &block)
      params = { :content_type => params } if String === params
      params = { :disposition => "attachment",
                 :transfer_encoding => "base64" }.merge(params)
      part(params, &block)
    end

part(params) {|part if block_given?| ...}

Add a part to a multipart message, with the given content-type. The part itself is yielded to the block so that other properties (charset, body, headers, etc.) can be set on it.

# File actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/part_container.rb, line 25
    def part(params)
      params = {:content_type => params} if String === params
      part = Part.new(params)
      yield part if block_given?
      @parts << part
    end
