Greetings,
Here are all the pieces of sending a generic (ONE template fits all) 
email from Rails. In this example, I am using an ISP that I pay for and 
a free SMTP server running on Windows for testing (see 
www.softstack.com).
Use the generator in RadRails to create the MyMailer class:
script/generate mailer MyMailer
This produces a "my_mailer.rb" model file in the project.
=============== add to bottom of config/envionment.rb ==============
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
  :address => "smtp.hostdepot.com",
  :port => 25,
  :domain => "mydomain.com",
  :authentication => :login,
  :user_name => "mike-3Q2Tfjf0mexWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org",
  :password => "mypassword"
}
======== inside the my_mailer.rb model file ================
   def one_email(to_addr, from_addr, msg_subject, msg_body)
     @from = from_addr
     @recipients = to_addr
     @subject = msg_subject
     @body["email_body"] = msg_body
   end
========= inside the one_email.rhtml view file ===============
<%= @email_body %>
========= the call inside the organization_controller =======
   ...during a post of the forgot-my-password form...
   send_login_reminder(org)
============== the called method ========================
  def send_login_reminder(org)
      msg_body = "Your login information:\n\n"
      msg_body = msg_body + "User Id: #{org.user_id}\n"
      msg_body = msg_body + "Password: #{org.user_password}\n\n"
      msg_body = msg_body + "Product Support"
      MyMailer.deliver_one_email(org.user_email_address, 
"michael-3Q2Tfjf0mexWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org",
                "MyProduct login reminder", msg_body)
# For testing the email without sending it,
# uncomment these lines and change "deliver" above to
"create"
#      email = MyMailer.create_one_email(org.user_email_address, 
"michael-3Q2Tfjf0mexWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org",
#                "MyProduct Login reminder", msg_body)
#      render(:text => "<pre>" + email.encoded +
"</pre>")
   end
