I use this:


require 'rubygems'
require 'action_mailer'
require 'mime/types'

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address  =>  
'10.209.3.26', :domain => '3dlabs.com'}

class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
	def message (title, body)
		from 			'Dave Baldwin <dave.baldwin@3dlabs.com>'
		recipients 		 'dave.baldwin@3dlabs.com'
		subject 		        title
		body 			body

		# Include all the pdf files in the PDF subdirectory as attachments.
		FileList['PDF/*.pdf'].each do |path|
			file = File.basename(path)
			mime_type = MIME::Types.of(file).first
			content_type = mime_type ? mime_type.content_type : 'application/ 
binary'
			attachment (content_type) do |a|
				a.body = File.read(path)
				a.filename = file
				a.transfer_encoding = 'quoted-printable' if content_type =~ /^text 
\//
			end
		end
	end
end

Mailer.deliver_message('some title', 'the body message')
