I am looking for a ruby way to receive an email with attachment,  
detach the attachment, convert it to a URL, insert the url in the body  
and send the email away to the recipeint.

I see the modules ActionMailer and TMail as possible module to handle  
the email. But yet to find a somewhat complete solution to this core  
requirement.

I am new to ruby and like some suggestion and/or direction on solving  
this problem

Thanks
