Hi guys,

I have a hard time with action mailer and TMail, I always get the  
following error…

My code:  
\<\<  
pop = Net::POP3.new(‘[pop.mydomain.com](http://pop.mydomain.com)’)  
pop.start(‘xxx’, ‘xxxxx’) # (1)  
if pop.mails.empty?  
puts ‘No mail.’  
else  
i = 0  
pop.each\_mail do |m| # or “pop.mails.each …” # (2)  
File.open(“inbox/#{i}”, ‘w+’) do |f|  
f.write m.pop  
Mailman.receive(m.pop)  
end  
#m.delete  
i += 1  
end  
puts “#{pop.mails.size} mails popped.”  
end  
pop.finish

> >

#Mailmain  
\<\<  
class Mailman \< ActionMailer::Base  
def receive(email)  
#puts email  
mail = TMail::Mail.parse(email)  
mail.parts.each do |part|  
if ‘image/jpeg’ == part.content\_type  
part\_type = part.content\_type  
part\_body = part.body.base64\_decode  
filename = part.disposition\_param(‘filename’)

```
		    puts part_type
		    puts "----- Separator -----"
		    puts part_body
		    puts "----- Separator ---"
		    puts filename

		   end
	end
	#~ #ticket = Ticket.new
	#~ #ticket.from_email = email.from[0]
	email.attachments.each do |attachment|
		puts attachment
	end
	#mail.base64_decode
	#new.receive(mail)
end

```

end

did you ever figure out what was giving you the error? I’m hitting the  
exact same thing when trying to test my mailer model.
