I can't. That's been my experience.

That should turn those image_tags()'s into full URLs. Not sure if there is a way to do that only for email and not the entire site though. -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
