Rails - Dec 2005 - Composing HTML e-mail with a PDF attachment

Hi, everyone.  I''ve been using Rails for a little while now, and am 
really, really enjoying the experience. 

I''m having the darndest time trying to send e-mail whose contents are
in
HTML, and which includes a PDF attachment.  Following various 
instructions (in the Pragmatic book, as well as at 
<http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer>),
I''m able to send HTML e-mail *or* a PDF attachment (generated from 
pdf/writer).  But I can''t figure out how to use an .rhtml template to 
generate the HTML, and then attach a PDF file to it.  I''ve thought
about
rendering a separate template from the one with the same name as my 
ActionMailer subclass, but it seems a bit roundabout to define two 
different methods to send one e-mail message.

I''ve tried the suggestions at 
<http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToSendMimeMultipartEmailsWithActionMailer>,
but to no avail.

Does anyone have a simple solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Reuven

Hi Reuven,
which way do you send the email? Using the raw TMail object as described
in the HowToSendMimeMultipartEmailsWithActionMailer? Can you post some code?

Thanks

Peter
