Action Mailer MessageDelivery

The ActionMailer::MessageDelivery class is used by ActionMailer::Base when creating a new mailer. MessageDelivery is a wrapper (Delegator subclass) around a lazy created Mail::Message. You can get direct access to the Mail::Message, deliver the email or schedule the email to be sent through Active Job.

Notifier.welcome(User.first).deliver_later # enqueue email delivery as a job through Active Job
