You could try following

http://ruby.about.com/od/tutorials/ss/ruby_email_5.htm

where they explain how to use “net/smtp”

If that doesn’t help – what are your difficulties?

There’s one more thing that should be added to the code and explanation
given there. After you follow through the code given on that page, you
may find that the basic sample code is lacking in one major respect – it
does not set the date on the outgoing email. That means that there is no
specific “sent time” for the email and its treatment depends on the
email client. For example, Thunderbird marks it with the date/ time at
which it was downloaded.

I wrote up this and its simple solution here:

Hope it helps.
