class ActionMailer::MessageDelivery

Parent:: Delegator

The ActionMailer::MessageDelivery class is used by ActionMailer::Base when creating a new mailer. MessageDelivery is a wrapper (Delegator subclass) around a lazy created Mail::Message. You can get direct access to the Mail::Message, deliver the email or schedule the email to be sent through Active Job.

Notifier.welcome(User.first)               # an ActionMailer::MessageDelivery object
Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_now   # sends the email
Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later # enqueue email delivery as a job through Active Job
Notifier.welcome(User.first).message       # a Mail::Message object
