= ResqueMailer

A gem plugin which allows messages prepared by ActionMailer to be delivered asynchronously.
Assumes that you are using Resque (http://github.com/defunkt/resque) for your background jobs.

== Usage

Include Resque::Mailer in your ActionMailer subclass(es) like this:

class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  include Resque::Mailer
end

Now, when MyMailer.deliver_subject_email is called, an entry will be created in the job queue.
Note that you can still have mail delivered synchronously by using the bang method variant:
MyMailer.deliver_subject_email!

To always use asynchronous delivery by default, create an initializer in your Rails project like so:

# config/initializers/resque_mailer.rb
class ActionMailer::Base
  include Resque::Mailer
end

== Installation

Install it as a plugin or as a gem plugin.

script/plugin install git://github.com/zapnap/resque_mailer.git

config.gem 'resque_mailer'

== Testing

You don't want to be sending actual emails in the test environment, so you can configure the
environments that should be excluded.

# config/initializers/resque_mailer.rb
Resque::Mailer.excluded_environments = [:test, :cucumber]

== Note on Patches / Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

== Credits

This work is basically a forked version of delayed_job_mailer http://github.com/andersondias/delayed_job_mailer) by Anderson Dias
(which in turn was inspired by Alexander Lang's workling_mailer). Enhanced and modified to work with Resque by Nick Plante.
