Forum: RSpec rails3/rspec2: how to write mailer tests?

This will sound awfully stupid, but i have no idea how to start
writing any mailer tests.

I have a mailer class

    class SmsMailer < ActionMailer::Base

      def fake_sms(envelope)
        mail(:to => envelope.user.email)
      end
    end

how do I test this?
I tried googling for documentation, but was unable to find something
relevant (probable used wrong search terms).

Or do i just do view-tests on the corresponding view?

Start with "script/rails generate rspec:mailer sms" - that will generate 
a stub for you and you can go from there.

I am sorry if that was not clear, but i am using rspec2 and rails.
I did use "rails g mailer SomethingMailer"
and that produced an empty test.

But when i did "rails g mailer SomethingMailer some_mail" i got a good
example.
Feels stupid again :)
