  include ActionMailer::Textgiri

  default from: 'welcome@example.org'

  def welcome(user)

Details

The MIME standard allows systems to send e-mail with multiple parts: plain/text for business-efficient devices such as the Blackberry, and text/html for web-based e-mail readers, such as GMail. Furthermore, ActionMailer supports multiple template formats: create an .html.haml template along with a .txt.haml template to generate both. We also know that text/plain email helps deliverability, but we believe a disproportionately small amount of text e-mails are actually read - the vast majority of devices are capable of parsing some HTML. This gem lets you get the text/plain part for free.
