rails: include html in a mail_to link

Question

I'm looking for a way to include html in a mail_to link, so that I can automatically include a banner in the body of this email.

Thanks for any hints

Answer 1

Rails 3

mail_to "email@example.com", raw(image_tag("/path/to/banner.png"))

Rails 2.x

mail_to "email@example.com", image_tag("/path/to/banner.png")

See the documentation for the mail_to helper.

Answer 2

In rails 4 with actionview-encode_mail_to you can do it like (Haml Syntax):

= mail_to 'email@example.com', encode: 'javascript' do
  = image_tag('contact_email.png')
