Intro to ActionMailer.Net (Screencast)

One of the ways I like to learn is by watching screencasts.  I find that it’s easier for me to retain information.  I suppose I’m just a more “visual” learner.  In light of this, I’ve decided to record a short screencast introducing some of the basic features of ActionMailer.Net.

I’ve recently released a new version (0.4.1) of this library which adds support for true multi-part messaging and a whole bunch of URL and HTML helpers that you can use in your views.  ActionMailer.Net also has a pretty thorough set of unit tests, so feel free to hack around and let me know what you think!

I’d love to make some more of these covering some of the more advanced features in ActionMailer.Net.  Any feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Cheers!

P.S. – For those of you that would rather watch the uncompressed video or can’t access YouTube at work, feel free to grab the video here (you’ll need 7-zip to decompress it).

    Hello Scott,
    My name is Michel and I am a Brazilian guy. The ActionMailer.Net is really fantastic and I’m using it on a project because it helps to separate the responsibilities and help to make the code more testable. I made a screencast about it and posted on my blog.

      Thank you so much for this, Michel. I’m glad ActionMailer.Net has been able to help you. Your screencast is wonderful. I really appreciate it!

        Scott, could you suggest to the team of ASP. NET MVC to your library ActionMailer.Net could be incorporated in next version. It would be a great new feature!

        Hi, Scott. It’s really amazing your library. I’ve been having problems sending an email with an embedded image. Could you please publish some tutorial or a short screencast in order to show how to accomplish this task? Thank you in advance….Angel

          Yeah. Some things have changed since I made this screencast. It’s probably time for a minor update :)

            I’ll be waiting for that new screencast. Thank you.

    How do I go about sending a multipart message which includes both the text and the html formatted email?
