Hey, I am sending out html emails. It seems to me that in order for the images to be properly shown in the email, their src needs to be absolute.
More precisely, /images/email/header.gif will not work, but http://localhost:3000/images/email/header.gif will. (If someone can refute me here, I am eager to hear it). So I was looking to use the image_tag helper to get the absolute url for the image source but I could not figure out a solution. So what I am currently doing is this: class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base def setup_email(user) (...) url_with_host = url_for(:controller => "home", :action => "index", :only_path => false) host_pattern = /^(.*:\/\/.+?)\/.*$/ @body[:http_host] = url_with_host[host_pattern, 1] content_type "text/html" end end (setup_email is then called from the actual mailer methods) But this is a hack and it supposes that there is a "home" controller. Having the image_tag helper accept the :only_path parameter would be a nice solution. I am curious to find out how others deal with this problem since it does not seem to be so particular.
