rspec users - Jan 2007 - spec''ing models with observers that send mail

I''m spec''ing a model with an observer that sends mail. Mailers
behave
similarly to controllers, so to make the whole thing work, I believe  
something like integrate_views has to be available. Has anyone dealt  
with observers and ActionMailer?

Thanks

I did it to add specs to restful_authentication plugin, it uses an  
observer to send mail on signup/activation.

For the observer, I choosed to get it by calling  
UserObserver.instance and then spec from that with a mock User  
object. (cf: http://jonathan.tron.name/files/user_observer_spec.v2.rb)

For the mailer, I choosed to spec based on the different mailer  
actions and what UserNotifier.create_my_action returns. (cf: http:// 
jonathan.tron.name/files/user_notifier_spec.v2.rb)

I''m not sure it''s the right way to go, especially for the
mailer
part, so feel free to correct my mistakes.
