def render_file(template_path, use_full_path = true, local_assigns = {}) #:nodoc:
  if defined?(ActionMailer) && defined?(ActionMailer::Base) && controller.is_a?(ActionMailer::Base) && !template_path.include?("/")
    raise ActionViewError, <<-END_ERROR
Due to changes in ActionMailer, you need to provide the mailer_name along with the template name.

  render "user_mailer/signup"
  render :file => "user_mailer/signup"

If you are rendering a subtemplate, you must now use controller-like partial syntax:

  render :partial => 'signup' # no mailer_name necessary
    END_ERROR
  end
  
  Template.new(self, template_path, use_full_path, local_assigns).render_template
end
