Hi, with ruport-util, that looks like this:

require "rubygems"
require "ruport"
require "ruport/util"

r = Ruport::Report.new

r.add_mailer :default,
             :host => "mail.adelphia.net",
             :address => "gregory.t.brown@gmail.com"

r.send_to("gregory.t.brown@gmail.com") do |mail|
  mail.subject = "Hello"
  mail.attach "foo.csv"
  mail.text = "This is an email with attached csv"
end

I understand if you want to lighten the dependency load, so you might
just want to use the lib we wrap, MailFactory.
