DESCRIPTION:

Ruby library with Rails Mailer class for working with WhatCounts mail provider.

1) Make sure to configure WhatCounts:

WhatCounts::HttpClient.configure do 
  realm "my_realm"
  password "foobar"
end

Then to use (better usages soon):

Lists
WhatCounts::List.create! { :name => 'name', :template_id => 'template', 
                           :from_address => '', :reply_to_address => '', :bounce_address => '', 
                           :track_clicks => true, :track_opens => true }

One Off Messages
WhatCounts::OneOffMessage.new :list_id => 1234, :template_id => 5678, :to => 'person@example.com', :format => 99

WhatCounts::OneOffMessage.send! :list_id => 1234, :template_id => 5678, :format => 99,
                                :to => "recipient@test.com", :from => "sender@example.com", 
                                :subject => headline,
                                :data => { :url => "http://example.com",
                                           :some_number => 1234
                                         }

Rails Integration (place in environments/#{RAILS_ENV}.rb)
config.after_initialize do
  module ::WhatCounts
    Rails::Mailer.default_url_options = {:host => 'assets.example.com'} # needed for url_for to work
    HttpClient.configure do 
      realm "my_realm"
      password "foobar"
    end
  end
end

Then extend the WhatCounts::Rails::Mailer class and use similar to ActionMailer::Base
class SomeMailer < WhatCounts::Rails::Mailer
  # I will be adding method_missing logic so you can call the mailer like you would in Rails.  
  class << self
    def deliver_something(*args)
      self.new.something(*args)
    end
  end

  def something(*args)
    # do yer mailing
  end
end

It's still largely incomplete as it was designed to serve specific needs.  Feel free to contribute.
