I have a site where members can private message each other, but lets just say that I''m kind of lazy, and conservative about my Db, so I just used email from private messaging; basically, messages are sent to messaging@mydomain.com with a header specifying the member. Is there any way to use mails.select to only retrieve messages with a certain header? Thanks. I''m new to rails, and this topic doesn''t seem to b edocumented in the Ruby/Rails examples. Thansk for your help and time. best Regards, Ben -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
