One more question for you guys... This is the first time I have used actionMailer and the corresponding templates. In my case I was noticing that email would not be sent out as expected unless I had both an "email_view.text.html.erb" and "email_view.text.plain.erb" view file in the app. Is this really how it works?
Is the flow something like this...? If the email client doesn't support the HTML version is Rails smart enough to serve the plain text version instead?
