Do you get links on other than gmail or rediff?

Do you have action mailer instance under model folder? Have defined  
methods within it?

Here is a brief;

ruby script/generate mailer Notify

This should generate the following in your model directory and under  
folder in your view.

class Notify \< ActionMailer::Base  
end

now, you define methods with in models/notify.rb

class Notify \< ActionMailer::Base

def notifycustomer(blahh, blah)  
@subject = “Message from a visitor”  
@recipients = blahh.email  
@from = blah[:email]  
@sent\_on = Time.now  
@body[“title”] = blah[:msg]  
end  
end

in your controllers action you would trigger it

def sendmail2customer  
Notify.deliver\_notifycustomer(@blahh, params[:blah])  
end

in your view, you will have sendmail2customer.html.erb which might have

Hi!  
You are having one email message from \<%= @email %\> with a title  
\<%= @title %\>  
and following is the message:  
 Confirm   
Thanks

let me know how it goes

you have to replace the variables with your own

def notifycustomer(blahh, blah)  
@subject = “Message from a visitor”  
@recipients = blahh.email  
@from = blah[:email]  
@sent\_on = Time.now  
@body[“title”] = blah[:title] #now you can use @title in your view  
@body[“msg”] = blah[:msg] # now you can use @msg in your view  
@body[“url”] = “some url” # now you can use @url in your view  
end

if you have followed my sample code then your view should have

Hi!  
You are having one email message from \<%= @email %\> with a title  
\<%= @title %\>  
and following is the message:  
\<%= @msg %\>  
url: \<%= @url %\>

Thanks
