Hi Colin Thanks for bearing with me. Your thinking is spot on in agreement with how I understand ruby. And yet
> class PokeMailer < ActionMailer::Base > def receive(email) > ... > end > > I then invoke the receipt of email with > > task = PokeMailer.receive(m.pop) works 100% I tried creating an instance of PokeMailer (see first post) pm = PokeMailer.new(userid) But it just returns nil, and pm.receive says nil doesn't have a receive method. I think its something to do with Actionmailer - but it definitely doesnt behave like a normal class. :( -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
