Hello,

I have this code, and the redirect\_to doesn’t seem to work after I call  
ActionMailer::deliver\_new.

def create  
…  
if current\_request.save  
…  
group\_users.each do |user|  
#RequestMailer.deliver\_new(current\_request, user)  
end  
#redirect\_to(:action =\> “list”) and return  
else  
…  
end

The code above (when both are uncommented) delivers the email correctly,  
but doesn’t redirect. It just stays at the …/request/create page.

When I comment the deliver\_new line, then it redirects correctly. But  
obviously, no email.

Please help me, is there something trivial that I missed?  
Thank you.
