Rails - Mar 2006 - ActionMailer Question -- can''t find email templates

I have a PageController that displays a form. The form is just
straight HTML, I only used the form helpers for the form tag as so:

--
<%= form_tag({:action => :send_request}, {:method=>:post,
:name=>''childsplay''})%>
--


In my page controller I have this:

--
def send_request
    email = InfoMailer::deliver_sendrequest(params)
end
---

in my action mailer class I have this:
controllers/info_mailer.rb

---
class InfoMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  def sendrequest(formparms)
    sent_at = Time.now
    @to         = ''info@illinoisatplay.com''
    @cc         = ''nola@devasap.com''
    @subject    = ''Thank you for your request''
    @recipients = ''''
    @from       = ''webserver@illinoisatplay.com''
    @sent_on    = sent_at
    @headers    = {}

    @body[''name''] = formparms[:from_name]
  end
end
---

The error I get is this:


ActionView::ActionViewError in Page#send_request

No rhtml, rxml, or delegate template found for sendrequest.rhtml


I REALLY DO have a a rhtml file at views/info_mailer/sendrequest.rhtml

it contains the following:

---
Dear <%=@from_name %>,

Thank you for your request, we will respond shortly!
---


Any ideas? .. when I assign a body the message I want to send:

  def sendrequest(formparms)
    sent_at = Time.now
    @to         = ''info@illinoisatplay.com''
    @cc         = ''nola@devasap.com''
    @subject    = ''Thank you for your request''

    @recipients = ''''
    @from       = ''webserver@illinoisatplay.com''
    @sent_on    = sent_at
    @headers    = {}

   #@body       = ''Thank you, the request is being processed''
  end
---

That works ok, it just doesn''t seem to be finding the template. What
am I doing wrong??

Mailers are usually put in the models directory, and
their deliver methods are usually called as class methods
using the dot notation, rather than with the :: notation.
