Yes, sorry, what I did is:

        module FieldAccessor
		def self.field_accessor(name)
	                module_eval %{ def #{name}() .... end }
        	        # It also works with "class_eval".
		end
        end

        class From
                extend FieldAccessor
                field_accessor :user, :domain
        end

Nice to know, so I was in the good way ;)

Thanks a lot for your help.
