I keep the ActionMailer model files themselves in models/, where they
land automatically, but then allow the controller to talk to those
models as it would to any other. So I'll put this in a controller:
if params[:forgot_password]
UserNotifier.deliver_pw_help(@user)
else...
and so on. I don't think it's necessary to wrap it in another layer of
modeling. Controllers are allowed to be one step away from model
logic, and the methods to deliver are already built into the
ActionMailer models.
