Rails - Jul 2005 - link_to in email bodies

Hi,

Is it possible to use the ''link_to'' helper (and other view
helpers) in
an email body when using ActionMailer?  I''ve tried to call it but it 
says that the method is not defined.

Not really. The link_to helper requires the existence of a url  
object, which controllers have, and mailer''s don''t. What you
can do
is pass the URL''s you want generated to the mailer as strings and  
have them substituted in directly.

If someone wanted to create a patch to allow link_to to work from  
within AM, that''d be great. ;)
