Hello everyone!

I’m working on a project which has been started by someone else. I’m  
wondering : is it possible to know wether a mailer has already been  
generated or not?

Is there a special command?

Thank for your help!

ls app/models/\*Mailer.rb

Just check the models directory for any files ending in Mailer and  
then check their contents.  
Also, check the controller where you expect the mail to be generated  
and see if there are any calls to deliver mails
