Constructor Details

#initialize(props = {}) ⇒ Message

Creates a MacMailer::Message instance. ‘props` can be left blank for a blank message, but you’ll probably want to pass along some details. Valid keys for ‘props` include:

:subject => String :body => String :recipients => Array (of hashes)

Each hash in :recipients supports the following keys:

:address => String :name => String :type => :to, :cc, or :bcc
