Rails - May 2008 - Action mailer

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

what does this line do...

def receive(email)
      page = Page.find_by_address(email.to.first)
      page.emails.create(
        :subject => email.subject, :body => email.body
      )

Look like it can''t work at all

Which part isn''t working? if Page. find_by_address is returning nil,  
have you compared what''s in the database with what''s in the
email
(bearing in the mind that the email will probably have something like  
"Fred blogs <fred-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>"
whereas your database might only have
fred-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org
.

receive is a class method in ActionMailer::Base that processes  
incoming mail. What you usually do is pipe contents of the email, as a  
string, from your mailing process to the receive method which  
automatically converts it to a Tmail object.

This is the example for Rails Way (modified slightly to match your  
class name) to listen for incoming mail:

./script/runner ''Mailman.receive(STDIN.read)''

Actually these code is not working

if email.has_attachments?
        for attachment in email.attachments
          page.attachments.create({
            :file => attachment, :description => email.subject
          })
        end

So i change the code to

  if email.has_attachments?
        email.attachments.each do |attachment|
        # save original file
        File.open("C:/rubydev1/mail7/log/" + 
base_part_of(attachment.original_filename) 
,File::CREAT|File::TRUNC|File::WRONLY,0666){ |f|
          f.write(attachment.read)
          f.close()
        }
         end
        end

And these code work fine, it did help me read the attachment file and 
save it into the ruby directory. Then now i want to retrieve hte email 
header such as the receiver, the senter, subject and date. It is 
possible. Thanks
