Inline_attachment in ActionMailer

Rails
1

Hi,

I need to embed images in email that I send from rails app.
ActionMailer seems to support only part and attachment.(Is it true?)
So I’m trying to use inline_attachment gem.
My hosting server doesn’t have the gem. (and I don’t have the root
privilege)
I tried to unpack the gem (rake gems:unpack) on my computer after
installing it.
But it doesn’t unpack (no error, though).

I added it to my environment.rb like config.gem ‘inline_attachment’.
I verified that the gem works in irb.

Why doesn’t gems:unpack work?

Thanks.

Because it unpacks gems which are installed into your local directory
structure so that you carry a copy with your project. Unpacking will
do nothing if you dont have the gem installed already.
