render received emails in rails, gem?

Question

I want to render received emails (via SMTP Server) that are stored in my DB and my question is:

• Is there a gem that provides rendering html_part, text_part from incoming email (received via SMTP Server) or something that can help to render an email depending which type it is (HTML, TEXT) ?

with best regards Hannes

Answer 1

yes there is a very beautiful gem mailcatcher here github link Instructions:

1) install the gem configure it by replacing your default setting with

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address => "localhost", :port => 1025 }

2) open terminal type mailcatcher enter.

3) send email.

4) now open browser and go to this address localhost:1080.

you will see that you have received email.

MailView from 37signals allows you to render Mailer objects and view them from your browser.
