I’m trying to call multiple email addresses from database. But dont  
know how to get the logic into the recipients field.

#subscriptions\_controller  
def deliver  
@subscription = Subscription.find(params[:id])  
@users = @subscription.users  
@subscription\_recipients = @users.find(:all).collect { |user|  
user.email }  
@subscription.deliver  
flash[:notice] = “Delivered Subscription”  
redirect\_to subscriptions\_url  
end

#subscription.rb  
def deliver  
UserMailer.deliver\_lotto\_saturday\_subscription(@user, @subscription)  
update\_attribute(:schedule\_delivery, Time.now)  
end

#user\_mailer.rb  
class UserMailer \< ActionMailer ::Base

def lotto\_saturday\_subscription(user, subscription)  
@recipients = ???  
from “[lottomail.net](http://lottomail.net)”  
subject “Your Lotto Saturday Reminder”  
body :user =\> user  
end

This is kind of a shot in the dark, but … When I have to hold several  
items, I make a list, also called an array, of elements.  
Have you tried that?

Something along the lines of: user.all.collect{|user| user.email}
