how can I change the Devise::Mailer?

[roguecartel]

I am using PostageApp which has its own mailer as a sub-class of
ActionMailer....so, for example, when I hand-roll my owner UserMailer
I have it UserMailer << PostageApp::Mailer.

How can I have Devise's Mailer use PostageApp?

Just configure it: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/generators/templates/devise.rb#L8

The problem is that you'll have to copy the entire DeviseMailer code, as you can't share both :).

It'd be great if PostageApp allowed you to just include it as a module in DeviseMailer.

Hi, Carlos --

I created a mailer also called devise_mailer.rb but put it into the
mailer directory...will it know to look there for an override?

Probably, but remember newer devise versions use Devise::Mailer, so you have to use devise/mailer.rb

I've never done that this way, you're overriding the entire mailer, but I think it should work.

I have the same issue. I'm using Devise 1.0.11 and Rails 2.3.10. Is it possible to override the whole devise_mailer.rb, or only the methods that are required? or should I edit the devise_mailer.rb directly? I'm a little confused. Any help appreciated.

Hi, so to restate for my own clarity: you copied it from the gem and put it into the app model and then changed the header and devise knew to use that rather than the gem?

class DeviseMailer < PostageApp::Mailer
