In Action Mailer the model has a view associated with it that gets  
stuffed with the content of the e-mail (both dynamic and static).  
Apparently the default location for this view is in a sub-directory of  
the views directory with the same name as the mailer class. How can I  
change this location?

Nievely, I tried using render and that didn’t work. I wasn’t too  
surprised.

Thanks for any input.
