Mail now in ActionMailer

OK everyone, so we finally have Mail merged into ActionMailer replacing
out
TMail

This is for the 3.0 release, and not part of the 2.x tree.

I am the TMail maintainer and I decided this year to write a ruby email
handler, the Mail gem is my solution to this.

Mail takes a very object oriented approach to email. It conforms to
RFCs as
closely as practical and parses the 0.5gb Trec and 2.5Gb Enron
email/spam
database (about 500,000 emails) without crashing.

Anyone who has used TMail will appreciate things Mail does and you
should
not have too much trouble moving over. The only thing you need to keep
in
mind is that in mail, everything is an object, so you have to call :to_s
to
get string values. Mail also has :decoded and :encoded methods for
every
object which should help you out more.

Also, unlike ActionMailer’s vendoring of TMail, Mail is a gem
dependency, so
we can keep things up to date easily.

Great! I wish it were already there :slight_smile: I’ve been using your gem a little
and am quite happy with it.
