attachments()
Instance Public methods
Allows you to add attachments to an email, like so:
mail.attachments['filename.jpg'] = File.read('/path/to/filename.jpg')
If you do this, then Mail will take the file name and work out the mime type set the Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Content-Transfer-Encoding and base64 encode the contents of the attachment all for you.
You can also specify overrides if you want by passing a hash instead of a string:
mail.attachments['filename.jpg'] = {mime_type: 'application/x-gzip',
content: File.read('/path/to/filename.jpg')}
If you want to use a different encoding than Base64, you can pass an encoding in, but then it is up to you to pass in the content pre-encoded, and don't expect Mail to know how to decode this data:
file_content = SpecialEncode(File.read('/path/to/filename.jpg'))
mail.attachments['filename.jpg'] = {mime_type: 'application/x-gzip',
encoding: 'SpecialEncoding',
content: file_content }
You can also search for specific attachments:
# By Filename mail.attachments['filename.jpg'] # => Mail::Part object or nil # or by index mail.attachments[0] # => Mail::Part (first attachment)
