Hey Ezra
I am actually implementing a SMS gem for merb that i want to put onto
rubyforge. But I thought that to keep the MVC structure id break out
the actual message into a ERB view file. It occurred to me that
ActionMailer renders things directly, so I took a look at that which
is where I got the idea for rendering the template directly.
Perhaps there is a 'more merb' way of handling the templates?
Many thanks
Tim
