Does anyone know the new convention for delivering multipart emails in  
2.3.2? I can’t find the docs on it, but the old way of having your  
files like:

mailer\_action.text.plain.erb  
mailer\_action.text.html.erb

This doesn’t seem to work anymore. I keep getting the error

#\<ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template mailer/  
mailer\_action.erb in view path app/views\>

Thanks!  
Tom

This works for me. But maybe you forgot to define the content type  
“multipart/alternative” in your mailer action?

def newsletter(recipient)  
…  
content\_type “multipart/alternative”  
…  
end
