It has just occurred to me that there's one scenario in which I *would* recommend saving the default address. If you want a record of each message exactly as it went out -- including the no-reply address used *at the time*, even if it's obsolete -- then you should save the default address to the DB. In almost any other case, this behavior is Plain Wrong. (Yes, that's a technical computer science term. :) ) Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
