Rails - Oct 2009 - How to send a html email with attachment

Hi guys:
  I wanna send a html format email with a attachment.
What I do is like:
model:
def weekly_report
    address =
WeeklyReportEmail.find_all_by_validate(true).collect(&:address).to_sentence(:last_word_connector
=> '','', :two_words_connector => '','')
    @recipients = address
    @from = "Chronos weekly report
<chronos-4ZJPdxLVsvDgESyFIoI21jfzStP7pjZN0E9HWUfgJXw@public.gmane.org>"
    @subject = "[Chronos] Weekly report"
    @sent_on = Time.zone.now
    @body[:projects] = Project.all

    attachment :content_type => "image/png",
      :body => File.read(RAILS_ROOT + "/public/images/cancel.png")
  end


views: just a erb file.

and the way I sent the mail is like below:

mail = MailReport.create_weekly_report
  mail.set_content_type("text/html")
  MailReport.deliver(mail)

If I sent it like that, I can not get the attachment insted of getting
some messy code.

I tried sent it like MailReport.deliver_weekly_report.
If so, the email will not be a html format email.


So what should I do, if I wanna send a html email with attachment.

something like:

This is example procedure - assuming that i want to send few pdfs 
attached with a html email - this is ordinary mailer method


class ExampleNotify < ActionMailer::Base

  def example(_user, _attachments)
    recipients  _user.email
    from        FROM
    subject     ''example''
    content_type "text/html; charset=utf-8"

    body        render_message(''example'')

    for a in _attachments
      attachment :content_type => "application/pdf", :body => 
File.read(File.join(RAILS_ROOT,DOCUMENT_DIR,a)), :filename=>a
    end
  end

end

Hi

U can try this.
User_notifier:
def method_name(email)
     @recipients  = email
     @content_type = "text/html"
     attachment :content_type => "application/octet-stream",
           :filename     => "User Manual.pdf",
           :body         => File.read("public/User Manual.pdf")

  end


Thanks
Seenu
