Rails - Jul 2005 - Using attachments drops the plain text message

I''m trying to use the new attachments feature in ActionMailer. It
works fine, but when I have attachments on a message it doesn''t add
the plain text message from my view. If I comment out my attachment
lines, the plain text appears.

Any ideas?

Here is the method in my ActionMailier class:

  def trainer(class_session, list_pdf, handouts_pdf)
    @subject    = ''Upcoming Class''
    @body       = {:location => class_session.location, :date =>
class_session.date, :time => class_session.time}
    @recipients = class_session.trainer.u_username
    @from       = ''webmaster-J0of1frlU80@public.gmane.org''
    @sent_on    = Time.now
    @headers    = {}
    ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
    attachment :content_type => "application/pdf", :body =>
list_pdf.render, :filename => "Class_List.pdf"
    attachment :content_type => "application/pdf", :body =>
handouts_pdf.render, :filename => "Handouts.pdf"
  end

Sounds like a bug. Could you please submit a ticket to  
dev.rubyonrails.com about this?

Thanks,

Jamis

I''ll submit a ticket. Can you suggest any workarounds though?

Before .13 I was creating my own TMail object and adding attachments
manually. I then sent it using the deliver method. The deliver method
doesn''t seem to exist in .13, so that no longer works.

I''m having the same problem, I was able to work around it by adding the
plain text message as a part

eg

part :content_type => "text/plain",
      :body => render_message("bla")

That''s bad - 0.13 is supposed to be backwards compatible. Also, the 
deliver method is used in the Agile Web Development with Rails book 
(p406), and (as I understand it) everything shown there is supposed to 
still be valid in Rails 1.0.
