If you want the object to be the SendMail module itself then extend
SendMail with ActionMailer:


  module ActionMailer
   def quoted_printable(text, charset)
     # some code
   end
  end

  module SendMail
   extend ActionMailer
   def self.send_mail(hash)
     # some code
     quoted_printable(....)
   end
  end
