Up until Rails 1.1 there was no easy way to include output from ActionControllers in a mail message created with ActionMailer. Now you can use code like this in your mail view templates:
``` <% session = ActionController::Integration::Session.new %> <% session.host! 'www.mysite.com' %> <% session.get session.url_for(:controller => 'view', :action => 'somthing' ) %> <%= session.response.body %> ```
