Hi  
I have controller code like below  
def edit\_service\_desk\_status\_after\_transfer  
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do  
sd\_status\_history = ServiceDeskStatusHistory.new  
sd\_status\_history.service\_desk\_ticket\_id = sd\_ticket.id  
sd\_status\_history.service\_desk\_status\_id =  
sd\_ticket.service\_desk\_status\_id  
sd\_status\_history.save  
end  
#Now I am calling function to send mail  
send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee(assignee\_id)  
end  
def send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee(contact\_id)  
official\_email\_ids =  
ContactEmailAddress.find\_all\_by\_contact\_id(contact\_id ,:conditions =\>  
“contact\_email\_address\_type\_id = ‘2’” )  
puts "`" official_email_ids.each do |official_email| User_mailer.to_send_mail_to_assignee(official_email) end puts "` "  
end

Here my question is should i use a seperate thread for the mail sending  
portion(ie,send\_mail\_to\_primary\_assignee\_function)…To a primary  
assignee maximum three mails have to be send…If three is to be used how  
can I do that…Since I am very new to threading in ruby…

Thanks in advance  
Sijo
