Anybody here deal with “a lot” of ActionMailers ?

I have a lot of places within my application that send out emails to  
various  
parties.  
My /views directory has a directory for each type of mail… ie:  
new\_user\_mailer/  
forgot\_password\_mailer/  
…etc

The /views directory is getting quite full of directories because of  
this,  
and I’ve tried working some  
magic to get the views pushed into a generic /mailer parent folder, but  
to  
no avail.

Anybody else run into this ? Or, am I just about completely retarded ?

I have many different types of mail templates, but they’re all in  
app/views/notifier, with a single notifier model.

That makes sense. I just condensed everything into a nice logical  
model/view. Thanks Joe !
