hey

I’m using gettext (1.10.0) in my app (rails 1.2.5) and everything works  
fine except a litte action.

this exception occurs, when i finish an order (were using a software to  
manage foodcoops) and the users should get an mail-notification.

when i follow the backtrace, the error occurs in the mailer-method,  
which is used to build the templates:

# message.rb, our mail-model

# exception is raised in line 2

def self.from\_template(template, vars, attributes)  
view = ActionView::Base.new(Rails::Configuration.new.view\_path, {},  
MessagesController.new)  
new(attributes.merge(:body =\> view.render(:partial =\> template,  
:locals =\> vars)))  
end

I hope, you have an idea.

greetings  
benni
