I put the helper :application in my mailer class,

If you want to call helper method from ActionMailer you need to include helper (module) in Mailer file as, if Helper module name is “UserHelper”, then need to write following in Mailer file

class CommentMailer < ActionMailer::Base
    default :from => "Andre Fournier "
    add_template_helper(UserHelper)
end

Or

class CommentMailer < ActionMailer::Base
    default :from => "Andre Fournier "
    include UserHelper
end

Hope this is helpful.
