I have installed DateBox but now ActionMailer can not send emails. I get  
an error that says “wrong number of arguments”. I read somewhere that  
the latest version of Rails Engines interferes with ActionMailer. It  
worked fine before I installed Rails Engines. Does anyone have any  
suugestions?

Here is the error:  
ArgumentError in PeopleController#sendtest  
wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

Here is the Trace:

I solved the problem with a crude workaround. Since I am only using  
Datebox (which has no email features) I just cleared the contents of  
“/vendor/plugins/engines/lib/engines/action\_mailer\_extensions.rb”. But  
hopefully the Rails Engine team will fix this so it works with Rails  
1.1.

If you could file a ticket on the engines issue-tracking site, with as  
much information (Rails/Ruby/engines versions, stack traces and so  
on), we’ll get on it.
