Rails - Mar 2005 - form action in mail (actionmailer)

Hi everyone. : )

I meet problem when use form tag in actionmailer. (content-type is text/html,
surely)
I want to use form action in actionmailer''s view (.rhtml) for some
reason.


1. I use start_form_tag helper method as normally, but how I can ?

I did <%= start_form_tag :action =>
"http://myhostname/mycontroller/myaction" %> or

<%= start_form_tag :action => "myaction", :action_prefix =>
"http://myhostname/mycontroller" %>

but met same errors

    /gems/actionpack-1.3.1/lib/action_view/helpers/url_helper.rb:11:in
`send''
    /gems/actionpack-1.3.1/lib/action_view/helpers/url_helper.rb:11:in
`url_for''
    /gems/actionpack-1.3.1/lib/action_view/helpers/tag_helper.rb:35:in
`start_form_tag''
    (erb):5:in `render_template''


2. so I changed my appoach to plain html likes 

<form action="http://myhostname/mycontroller/myaction"
method="post">
blah blah, most hidden type
<input type="submit">
</form>

then, when I click submit from mail client,  Rails identify it as "get
request" not "post request".

What happend? 


Thanks for any advance : )

I found it worked as I expected (request "post" action) in web browser
mail client.
Actually, I suppose above problem come out only Mail.app (mac).

Is there anyone who explain this case ? : )

Thanks for any advance,

Again : )

I found each mail client has their own method to process ''form
action''
in text/html mail.
For example, Gmail modify hidden input''s name with their prefix id 
string.
(ex. <input type="hidden" name="account[something]">
is modified to
<input  type="hidden"
name="120231232account[something]"> )

Surely I can use pattern matching to solve this problem but I think it 
is risky way.
So I will be happy if someone explain know-how about ''form
action'' in
html mail.

Thanks for any advance
