Rails - Sep 2005 - how to email form content

Hi,

I''ve been looking for a while and i don''t find anything, maybe
it''s
obvious but i''m stuck.

How can i send the contents of a form by email, like in a typical
feedback form where you fill in your name, address and comment and it
gets sent to the site owner

thanks in advance,
Amaia

checkout ActionMailer

Thanks for your response but i already did and didn''t find how to make
a
simple feedback form with ActionMailer.
I finally did it with Net::SMTP in the controller, if anyone knows a
better approach please let me know.
Thanks

What exactly tripped you from using ActionMailer? Have you read  
"Howto Send Emails with ActionMailer" [1]? You just have to create a  
mailer (script/generate mailer), modify the generated mailer model  
and view to your needs and finally, call the deliver method for your  
mailer action in the controller that is handling your form. The howto  
has an example of all this. It uses a User object as a parameter for  
the mailer method but you can as well pass the params hash to yours.
