Hi, I’m trying to include a partial in an email template but it throws me this: undefined method `controller\_path’ for SupportMailer:Class Extracted source (around line #12): 11: 12: \<%= render :partial =\> ‘footer’ %\> I guess email views are a little different from normal ones as they don’t seem to have a access to a proper controller (?) is there a quick way around this?

I’ve set my mailman prefs so I should be receiving my own mail from the maillist however it doesn’t come through. I am using gmail and getting my mail with a POP client. Has anybody else had this problem? ---

On this page: [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/newticket](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/newticket) theres is a very good suggestion that I see if the bug I am reporting is already described and ‘Use the search to look for keywords or investigate the lists.’. However I can’t easily find a way to do this on this page or on the pages this page links to. I have a feeling this is a stupid question and I must be missing something obvious … hmmm. Would be nice to have either a search field or a link to a search on this page. ---
