Render_component and ActionMailer templates

Hey gang,

I’m trying to make a call to render_component in an ActionMailer .rhtml
template, but I get this:

undefined method `render_component’ for #ActionView::Base:0x258ee88

I tried calling it directly using ActionController::
Components.render_component, but that doesn’t work either.

Are components supposed to be able to be called from ActionMailer or
not?

My component basically grabs a snippet of text from my db to insert in
the
mailer. Is there a more Rails-ish way this could be accomplished without
using render_component?

Thanks…
