to  
send email with a text attachment in ruby.

I did it with Ruport:

r = Ruport::Report.new  
r.add\_mailer :default,  
:host =\> “[mymail.server.com](http://mymail.server.com)”,  
:address =\> “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”

r.send\_to(‘removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’) do |mail|  
mail.subject = “Some subject”  
mail.attach(‘myfile.name’)  
mail.text = “Some text”  
end
